Know The Game: Camping

95
"..the "Know The Game" series, published between 1950 and 1990 by Educational Productions in the UK. In a time before the internet, the series was an essential resource for anyone looking to participate in sports & other recreational activities. The pamphlets were cheaply printed in 2-3 colors and highly affordable: just 25-45 British pence each (around $2.25 to $5 in modern US currency). Despite being published as a unified series, each issue was produced in collaboration with a recognized sporting club or association—from the British Sub-Aqua Club to the Royal Meteorological Society—to ensure the most up to date rules and regulations were included. From a design perspective, it's interesting to watch the shift in covers from highly individualized to a more standardized and branded "KTG" format over time. Topically, it's fascinating what recreational activities merited coverage in which era; angling in 1953 vs. tabletop role-playing in 1976." —Elizabeth Goodspeed
