Title: Blast from the past
Review: This is a little piece of Americana that is surprisingly relevant to attracting birds today. The charmingly antiquated prose reminds us continually of how these types of manuals have been dumbed down in the last fifty years or so, and the advice is spot-on for attracting a wide variety of bird species through food, housing, and water. The book is very slim, succinct, and to the point, without a lot of energy expended on full page illustrations or anything of the sort. With this no-frills approach, the book is a great example of how some engaging activities can resist the encroachment of consumerism; once you've spent a few dollars on materials and feed, you can attract birds as well as the billionaire next door.
