A slightly opinionated interpretation of America’s sexual revolution and a brief history of toys and games lead off today’s list of oldies but goodies. Below are links to descriptions of the earliest handbooks on the following topics:

• Card playing
• Christian sexuality
• Collecting Tibetan postage stamps
• Defending management in labor disputes
• Epistolary theory
• Film-making
• Greek myth
• Homing pigeon training (I think)
• Public speaking
• Seafaring (in English)
• Torture
• Traveling in Europe
