Bound in the original green cloth, stamped in black on the spine. From the Dust Jacket: "Here is an invitation to experimental fun, with projects designed to develop model building creativity. Young experimenters are encouraged to try different variables, to discover what leads to the most successful model. Does a yo-yo have to be round? What happens if you change the string material? Make a wind wagon, a cork sailboat, or a hang glider, then try making changes and see what happens. How much weight can you attach to an inverted tumbler full of water? How fast can you recover th3e 'treasure' with a Cartesian diver? Each project is a challenge. All can be built from easily obtained and inexpensive materials.". First Printing of the First Edition.
