Whether it's a practical manual for fortune telling, a rocket manual for amateurs, learning how to be the expert waitress or delving into modern magic, people have long had a fascination for how things work. These practical guides were amusing, practical and are now highly collectible. Join Richard as he examines books on applied science and technology, manuals and even trade catalogues.
