I loved this Collins Gem Predicting book for its simple explanations on such a wide variety of predicting forms.

This tiny book is a lot of fun. Simple,concise with 424 pages of everything, including science, geography, history and how things work. It's been largely replaced by a phone, just still, it's enjoyable to read a few pages at a time.
