I always enjoyed the ads in some youth books, like the "one chapter teaser" of the next adventure in the local translation of "Famous Five" by Blyton

Yeah, but those X-Ray Specs worked about as well as anything bought from an Ad thase days

We never had that kind of ads in our books, they came in catalogues I sadly never got to order from even if the "make your own radio"kit with crystal always looked awesome

Those radio kits with the crystals actually worked, I remember building one with my pa. I forget the principle behind them

Sounds like I should try to find a kit before they go all DAB
