I remember the weight in gold thing! And I can't remember either. But it was interesting.
Um. Textbooky-books. Herring's Crim one is definitely worth it; admin books made me cry (or maybe that was my head) and are not.
Swallows and Amazons! The whole series, I used to know the pages references for everything, including making netting (Great Northern), skinning a rabbit (Picts and Martyrs), guddling trout (again, Picts and Martyrs), their code (Ack... the winter one...), tying a bowline knot (Missee Lee)... ahem. Anyway, jolly useful books.

Eerm... yes. Can't think of any others right now.
