Gr 4–8—Each of these books begins with a basic introductory spread, While the other three introductions offer general information, Weapons can be uncomfortably specific given the age of the target audience. Each book proceeds with six identical pages that provide a list of materials and diagrams of basic techniques, followed by between five-and-seven projects that result in items such as a long-range bomber, battleship, or tank. Again, there are some uncomfortable statements. In Army, the preface to "Artillery" states, "Take aim with this great looking artillery piece." Weapons refers to an automatic pistol as a "neat little weapon" and a missile as "real fun to have around."
