Due to new European labelling rules, I can no longer sell to countries in the EU or Northern Ireland. Apologies but it is out of my hands!

McCall's Golden Make-it Book, 1968, published by Paul Hamlyn. Hardback, 141 pages

'Designed and arranged by John Peter
Illustrated by Corinne Malvern and Bob Riley'

This vintage children's craft hardback is beautifully illustrated throughout in colour.
It is in fair-good condition:
- the cover has some wear and rubbing, and some splits on the bottom of the spine, as well as some minor scratches and marks on the back
- inside there is a name on the front flysheet and an inscribed bookplate on the second flysheet
- there is some foxing mainly on the flysheets, and on the first and last few pages
- there is some glitter embedded on the inside back cover's plastic coating (undoubtedly from previous crafts), and appears in the gutter of some pages too - I have cleared as much as I could but...it's glitter!
- there are a couple of small dog-ears.
Otherwise there is no writing, tearing or creasing.

28.5cm x 21cm x 2cm approx.

Blurb reads:
McCall's Golden Make-it Book is planned as the point of departure for countless happy hours of creative play.
All children delight in making things with their hands. Today much of their entertainment is completely passive, and many of the things they live with are manufactured and complex. By contrast, making things for themselves is not only fun but offers real satisfaction and a sense of personal achievement.
McCall's Golden Make-it Book is crammed with good ideas and helpful instructions. There is something here to suit all age groups and all tastes, from simple sewn pictures, cut-outs and games for the very young to woodwork, leatherwork and modelling for older children.
Full-size patterns, carefully written instructions and step-by-step illustrations simplify each activity, as does the preliminary guide which explains the uses of many different tools and materials. Suggestions for making use of old clothes and utensils make it easy for almost anyone to get started on some project immediately.
