Summary: 4 Stars
I have the earlier edition, the one with the green cover. The projects, well illustrated and described step by step, are amusing and, believe it or not, useful. Who couldn't use a duct-tape wallet? Who wouldn't look amazingly techno-cool with a silver tape cell-phone holder on his belt? The flak-proof BBQ apron is a must-have item for the outdoor chef (obviously not intended to repel grenade shards, but will certainly deflect flak from critics.) If any of these fine self-crafted products begins to wear thin, well, you just repair with a patch of -- what else?-- more duct tape!
The writing is plenty humorous -- good for snorts, chuckles, wry smiles, and the occasional raised eyebrow. You might find the retro photos enjoyably spicy if you're the kind of guy that finds the Beeve's mom alluring. Duct tape is a "guy thing" and this is a guy book, but in this edition the photos are not any more suggestive than a WW2 pin-up.
The later edition is a bit bawdy and the sexual humor has been notched up another level, so consider your potential audience and be judicious in your selection. The earlier version is probably OK for your high-schoolers, but preview the later one before you hand it over to the younger guys.
Book Review: Good Book

I purchased this book for my father - the Mr. Fixit who has everything. He loved it. The directions and illustrations are fairly easy to follow and there are some cool things to make. Here's a tip: give a roll of duct tape with the book!
