I've just managed to buy a second hand copy, and it has a range of circuits in it starting with simple one valvers.
Ahh, the memories of childhood....I built one or two of these circuits and they worked quite well.

I had a copy of this book when I was 13, I seem to remember that on at least one circuit he used a mains valve with a lantern battery for the heater and a really low HT voltage. I never really understood why he did not use a battery valve. Can anyone else remember this of is it just my imagination?
