The Saturday Book: 31st Issue is an anthology edited by John Hadfield and published by Clarkson N. Potter, Inc. in 1971. Pushing vigorously into its third decade this Saturday Book presents the usual assortment of the unusual.

More esoteric art-forms discussed and illustrated include the marvellous jewelled watches being made today by Andrew Grima, glass-engravings executed by Simon Whistler, and the art of smoking, discussed in an illuminating essay by J. B. Priestley. There are also vivid evocations of the glories of Damascus and the famous Assembly Rooms at Bath, some marvellous geological wood-engravings by Monica Poole, and a poem by Sir John Betjeman on the unexpected theme of the Costa Blanca.
