Style over substance

I excitedly bought this book but after one flick through it, immediately after unwrapping, I felt that I had absorbed most of it's message.
There are a couple of clever projects but ironically most of the activities are themselves "recycled".
It's wonderfully produced with the cardboard cover and lots of stylish photos but for such a thick book there aren't enough projects.

simply fantastic!!

I was given this book as a gift and I couldn't of been more thrilled.

The whole book i beautifully written and gives great factual information into where modern day materials come from.

Basically the theme behind this book is re-use, re-claim re-cycle and there are many detailed easy-to-do projects such as the take-away chandelier, post bag new-sew satchel and book cover photo frame.

This book is thoughtfully and ingeniously put together for the modern-day DIYer and is the perfect present for the people in our lives who always secretly wanted to be Blue Peter presenters.
