Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 291 pages : illustrations ; 34 cm. Introduction : Once upon a time this book was going to be the Great British Catalogue, a cousin of Stuart Brand's excellent American shopping list of resources, the Whole Earth Catalog. But it is information, rather than products, that we have indexed, borrowing and stealing elements from encyclopedias and the 'underground' press, the prototype popularisers of amazing facts, the Illustrated London News, the Children's Wonder Book of Marvels, H.G.
