About this ebook

A delightful visual compendium and very nearly a substitute for good common sense, How To is the silly and seriously useful guide to mastering the miscellany of modern life. Packed in this chunky little volume are hundreds of instructional diagrams, culled from vintage how-to books, manuals, and product packaging, illustrating how to do anything you'll ever need to do—and many things you won't. With a bare minimum of text and just a few action arrows, these hard-working graphics are here to help. Learn how to use chopsticks, breakdance, tie a trash bag, diaper a baby, and parallel park. Discover the right way to do a cartwheel, use dental floss, hammer a nail, and slice bread. And if you've ever wondered whether you were walking correctly, wonder no more. With chapters to help you navigate the daily concerns of manners and grooming, home and family, health and safety, sports and exercise, and science and the world at large, this pocket-sized primer is the only book you'll ever really need. Honest.

    A very quick "read."A how-to book of everything you need to know, key word "need," like parallel and angled parking and rinsing lettuce. An illustrated book of common sense for those who do not have any.

    A nearly wordless collection of how-to instructive drawings. Culled from hundreds of instruction manuals, possibly from the 50's on, this book can show you how to thread a needle, do the tango, and fly a kite. Should be buried in every time capsule to show people thousands of years from now what we were REALLY like.

    If you never payed attention to your mom while growing up, this is the book for you. I really never knew how to fold a fitted sheet or how to hoe in the yard. I do now. I enjoyed this book and its wealth of "old school" knowledge.
