The Black-Out Book
As strange and terrifying as life must have been in Great Britain during World War II's black-outs, it was likely just as downright boring. Published at a time when curfews and rationing kept people close to their homes—or in tube stations, railway arches, tunnels, basements and makeshift bomb shelters—Evelyn August’s The Black-Out Book brings together over 500 games, puzzles, jokes and literary snippets meant to amuse and distract Britons for 101 black-out nights. Featuring everything from conjuring tricks to number and word games or riddles, to such nuggets of wisdom as “A thought for the petrol-rationed motorist,” The Black-Out Book sheds fascinating light on the making-do spirit of World War II’s homefronts.

This is a nifty little book which looks and feels just like a book published in the 1940s that you found in your grandmother's attic.
It's a very enjoyable book that you can pick up whenever you want and always find something to make you smile or think.
