Seems these pages would be annoying to navigate and read on a Kindle. Also, the obvious irony of downloading a Kindle version of this book lol.

My parents had this book when I was growing up. As kids we spent hours and hours reading and rereading in. It's an awesome book to have on your shelf as a reference book.

Wait—it says "skills employed by our forefathers"…what could there possibly be to update??? Is there late breaking research into skills our forefathers used?🤔🤷
