What's In Your Analog Bag?
Or: hobbies to try while touching grass
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!

Yeah, totally!
I saw Trash Origami by Michael G. LaFosse and immediately thought about his Origami Airplanes book as well! I used to love books about making different paper airplanes, so I have a couple more:
-
The New World Champion Paper Airplane Book by John M. Collins
-
Space Flyers Paper Airplanes Book by Jeff Lammers
