Old books

I've inherited a (late-60's?) plastic-bound Lyman.
(Don't have it here).
I don't think it's any of those editions,
but it's very close to the 41st edition;
obviously the work of the same graphics artist.

The oldest one I have is a small Ideal hard cover. I’ll check the date on it.
Lots of hand tools and very few powders to choose from.

... one of the scariest things I ever read was Hellstrom's Hive.
Underground Bee People who could cause earthquakes
anywhere on earth (a la Our Man Flint)
to brush back even nuclear powers who didn't toe their line.
Their hives too deep to dig out with nukes.
Reproduction via procreative stumps:
headless female torsos kept alive to gestate embryos for the colony.
Kept me occupied trying to think of some workable countermeasure.

Remember "Alien vs. Predator"?
How about "Hellstrom's Hive vs. Amazon"?
