Antonio, tell us a story

‘Every picture tells a story’ and ‘a well-written story paints a picture in your mind’ may seem to be contradictary but I think a good story is good whether it’s told in pictures, in words or in a mixture of both. This Book-mooch Journal is intended to be a place for any form of story, [...]

Altaired Images – a handbook

If you were around in the 70s and had children you may well have come across Altair designs. These are a series of mathematical designs for colouring in.

Keep buttoned up…

This journal has grown out of an incident that occured in the early 1970s, when I was sent out as the youngest-looking teacher with the Deputy Head of the Junior School where I taught, to scrounge resources from local businesses and factories. This was my second great catch (after enough (lumpy) glue from the suitcase [...]

It can be used for observations of nature, artwork, [...]
