This would be excellent for some one researching history; I'm not, so I find it boring. Most of the formulas and advice that I read there wouldn't be worth the time to make them.

This is good to pick up every once in awhile for a reality check of the times we are in. Makes you appreciate modern conveniences but also makes you nostalgic for some of the old time ways.
