I'd love to see it. I had a set of similar books I would pore through as a child like 'Future Cities'[1]. I think it might have been part of a series as well. There was also this big thick book from Readers Digest that had all kinds of things you could build Model boats and Planes (among other things). It's not the 'Crafts and Hobbies' one that's on the internet archive, but it was similar.

The entire Usborne series of books was eye-opening to me when I was a kid: the future, how to be a spy, science experiments. They were translated to Spanish by Editorial Plesa.
I did eventually find the book I was looking for. It was "The Reader’s Digest Book of Things to Make and Do"

I still have my copy of Future Cities and a few more of that ilk. Perhaps it’s time to dig them out of the dusty reaches of my bookshelf.
