The Week-End Book was first published by the Nonesuch Press
in June 1924. With various editions and altercations, it was
reprinted in England nineteen times. In criticism of its
commercial success, Virginia Woolf once commented, "The
Hogart Press may not make any money but at least we did not
publish The Week-End Book." From how to forecast the weather, make a campfire, or make
your own paper cups, to suggestions for games to play in the
country and the potential damages (legal and medical) that
might result, The Week-End Book offers essential advice for
anyone on making the most of their precious leisure time. In
addition, The Week-End Book contains a thoughtful selection
of poetry that can be fully enjoyed in the peace of the
countryside. Portable and practical, The Week-End Book is
the perfect recipe for successful weekend living.
