Instructional nonfiction about all types of arts & crafts, creative DIY, games, pastimes, skills, and offline activities in general. For this list I'm favoring comprehensive introductions & broader overviews — you won't find every worthwhile book about (eg) furniture building, hair braiding, or paper airplanes here, but you will find a little taster of each. See what catches your eye!
