MISSION STATEMENT

Sometimes, things are wrong. At one point they may have been alright, and are now considered wrong, or, they always have been and ever will be just plain wrong. Oft times, these wrong things are also funny.

With that in mind, this endeavour features two main strands: the "Shelf of Shame" (books) and the "Screen of Shame" (film) and smaller strands such as "Sound of Shame" (vinyl) and "Miscellany of Shame" (various) - each showcasing items from my personal collection of bibliographic and cinematic oddities and curios.

Deemed shame-worthy according to varying criteria of wrongness, these humourous, surprising, and occasionally instructive items are therefore posted here for your perusal, amusement and edification. Enjoy.

Shelf of Shame #20

ARE YOU REALLY SURE THAT'S A GOOD IDEA...??

Skeen / Garner / Cartwright. Woodworking for Young Children. National Association for the Education of Young Children: Washington: 1984. (5th printing, 1997) 8vo, illustrated card covers, 86pp, many b&w illus.


Doubtless very well intentioned, this title might perhaps feel at home with other ill-advised works, such as "Flaming Torch Juggling for the Visually Impaired", "Venomous Snake Handling for Toddlers" and a cautionary tale about using daddy's power tools called "Little Johnny No-Arms".

But perhaps we are too quick to judge, after all, to quote Cosmo Kramer: "It's all supervised!" And to be sure, the book has a section on safety... on page 61.

First Aid follows a page later.
