First published in 1953, Teach Yourself Cycling is a beautiful, lovingly reproduced window into a distant age, where understanding the good manners of the road & enjoying the innocence of the family picnic dominated life on two wheels. Yet few vehicles have changed as little as the bicycle in the 65 years since this book first published. For all that they have become immeasurably lighter & better adapted to a range of terrains, the basic mechanics remain the same
- & a deeply recognisable spirit of joy runs through this book, even though the author, Reginald Shaw, feels he needs to reassure his readers that cycling can be ”a pleasurable activity as well as a mode of transport”. This book is perfect for fans of cycling interested in how the art & practice of riding a bike has changed. From a stout defence of `the good manners of the road` to a surge of enthusiasm when mapping out the itinerary of a good cycling holiday, this book is warm, interesting & enlightening. Since 1938, millions of people have learned to do the things they love with Teach Yourself. Welcome to the how-to guides that changed the modern world.

Originally published in 1958, Teach Yourself Good Manners is a fascinating guide, packed full of both timeless advice & tips that demonstrate just how much life has changed in the 60 years since it published. Indeed, the author, W S Norman, would doubtless be horrified by modern manners & would implore us to study his rather uptight but very funny rules for modern living. Amusing, intriguing & sometimes rather inspiring, this handbook is a window into how life would have looked had we lived in a `a simpler age`
- in which, confusingly, they had rather a lot of strange rules. Since 1938, millions of people have learned to do the things they love with Teach Yourself. Welcome to the how-to guides that changed the modern world.

Teach Yourself To Live is a self-help classic from a very distant age. Then, as now, the self-help world was dominated by energetic Americans preaching the secrets of limitless achievement. But from the off this delightfully dry, wise & pragmatic book offers something quite different
- a sober, somewhat stern, but ultimately generous guide to living in a world blighted by modernity & taxes. Nostalgic, funny & charming, this book somewhat bad-temperedly insists the reader not get ideas above his or her station
- yet it ends up delivering a bracing, empowering guide to knowing yourself & living well (despite it all). Oliver Burkeman called this book ”a place of stability & solid ground amid the rushing omnibuses”. Full of fascinating & unexpected revelations, Teach Yourself To Live flips self-help on its head & provides a marvellous insight into the way we used to feel about life & how to live it. Since 1938, millions of people have learned to do the things they love with Teach Yourself. Welcome to the how-to guides that changed the modern world.

Teach Yourself To Fly: The Classic Guide To Flying A Plane

First published in 1938, Teach Yourself To Fly was not only one of the very first Teach Yourself books to be published but the first to actually change the world. It was used on the eve of the second world war to prepare pilot recruits and conscripts before they were called for service, and as such it was read religiously by thousands of young men, some as young as 17, and directly impacted on the British war effort.This beautiful new printing of the book captures all of the feelings of that extraordinary time - it`s nostalgic, understated, inspiring and very British indeed, warning young pilots, amongst other things, not to feel `too discouraged` in the event of a crash landing. Technology has changed hugely, but the principles of aviation as they were in the middle of the
twentieth century are perfectly summarised in this lovely book. Get hold of the right vehicle, and it really can teach you to fly.What happens when you`re up there, however, is your responsibility. Since 1938, millions of people have learned to do the things they love with Teach Yourself. Welcome to the how-to guides that changed the modern world.
