Lindsay’s Technical Books Ships Last Catalog
I think I was fourteen or fifteen when I received my first Lindsay’s catalog, ordered from a print ad in the back pages of Popular Science or Popular Mechanics—I don’t recall which. “Build Lightning Bolt Generators!” it trumpeted. “Melt Metal! Rediscover Lost Technology!” I clipped along the dotted line and sent $3.00, cash, through the US mail. I’ve been a regular buyer ever since.
