Reader Reviews
This review is from: Gordon McComb's Gadgeteer's Goldmine!: 55 Space-Age Projects (Paperback)
I love do-dads, thingamagigs and gizmos, and this book is just chuck full of them! Even better, the writer doesn't assume you're an utter moron, or that you have an advanced degree in Electrical Engineering. Fun and challanging, I highly recommend it.
