Book Reviews of ReadyMade: How to Make [Almost] Everything: A Do-It-Yourself Primer
Book Review: Well
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is not a how to book. The beginning of the book tells you more that it is a way to get YOU to think about how to reuse materials. It has sections for each type of material, paper, plastic, metals.
So if you are looking for a huge how to do-something, this book is not for you. But if you want to see some ways to reuse stuff and stimulate your own creative mind, this book definitely would be interesting to you.
Summary of ReadyMade: How to Make [Almost] Everything: A Do-It-Yourself Primer
HOW TO MAKE {ALMOST} EVERYTHINGA Do-It-Yourself Primer
You need this book. As the stuff of life piles up and things spin out of control, we could all use a little help. These never-before-seen designs and how-tos are full of surprise and wonder.

Our simple self-improvement techniques will make you smarter, better-looking, and more well-adjusted.
(RE) MAKE IT!
This is the ?sales copy? section. Here we will talk about how useful, delight-inducing, and excellently well put together this book is. If things have gone a little flat and you?re searching for inspiration, look no further. ReadyMade is full of fun projects for the whole family. It solves problems, cures dizzy spells, and holds open the door. It has a collegial, ?50s garage tinkerer sensibility. It read Popular Science as a kid and dreamt of building rockets. It launches with fiery trails. It soars. When it falls, it brushes itself off and starts over. It is the Captain of Creativity. Resistance is futile. This book is 100% hope.
First project: Personalize this book and protect it from theft by cutting out this portion of the cover and replacing it with your own photo. (See page 16)
