Maggie - you'll be tapping in to the same market as our youngest's book -
"Loos wot I have visited" ;-)

The younger generation do tend to want to read 'how to' books - they haven't been allowed the freedom of getting dirty or doing 'dangerous' things.

There's a guest on a radio 4 programme, talking about the 'skill' of climbing trees! :-S

He's even written a book on how to do it.

If something we did as a matter of course has now become a 'skill', perhaps we should all write books on 'skills' we had/have that a lot of 'youff' know nothing about.
