 Rating:  - Interesting gadget stuff!I bought this book for my husband for Father's Day and he loved it. It's full of quirky and unusual but workable gadgets to make life easier. This goes way beyond the Veg-O-Matic and might be worthwhile for a young person with a curious, inventive mind. My husband has tried to invent new and clever things but they never quite worked out but he did enjoy reading this book. Rating: - What an Amusing and Fun Book!Thumbs up for Steve Greenberg! I just bought your book last night and it is hilarious!! My son and I went to dinner last night and while we were waiting for our order, we were going through the book. Well, we had a grand old time looking at all the kool inventions and laughing hysterically.

The author does a very good job outlining the histories of the products and telling the inventors' stories. Highly recommended. Jeff from California Rating: - Don .. www.MarshmallowChefSticks.comI am one of the inventors in the book--page 108 :). As you might imagine I was a bit nervous about what Steve was going to say about my invention; Hand Crafted Personalized Marshmallow Roasting Sticks for toasting perfect marshmallows. I had no idea what he was going say until the day he said, "OK, the book is in the stores." Unfortunately, my local stores didn't have it yet, so I immediately ordered it from Amazon; probably saved some cash as well. As I opened the package, I was very impressed with the ...
