A survival guide for the stranded time traveller. It's kindof like an encyclopedia for the curious maker.
I like to imagine I'm pretty self sufficient and good at problem solving. Reading this book makes you realize just how many problems we humans have managed to solve over the years. Even so, I recon I could 'bootstrap' a civilization based on the contents of this book. Hopefully I can at least manage to make soap and subjugate a cow.
