Synopses & Reviews
Amazing stuff you never knew you needed.
From the same brains who brought you The Encyclopedia of Immaturity comes The Klutz Book of Inventions, a 200-page catalog of never-before-seen contraptions that are equal parts brilliant, useful, and ridiculous. None of them exist as actual products, but in a better world, a funnier world, they would all be household essentials.
One of the most ambitous projects weve ever undertaken, this compendium was created over the course of hundreds of brainstorm hours by an all-star team from Klutz and IDEO, the worlds foremost product design firm. Each of the inventions was actually built in the legendary IDEO workshop before being photographed (usually in action) and described on its own page.
What kinds of inventions are included? A helium filled hide-a-bed (hop out of bed and it hides on the ceiling). A tricycle-lawnmower combo (puts wasted play energy to work). A quitters convert-a-kit (for turning neglected exercise equipment into comfortable recliners). Training wheels for high heels. Scratch-n-sniff menus. Mood collars for pets. And so much more. Isnt it time you upgraded your wish list?

Synopsis
The Klutz Book of Inventions lives at the intersection of comedy and product design. This 200 page catalog of never-before-seen contraptions is equal parts brilliant, useful, and ridiculous. None of these inventions exist, but youll wish they did. A helium filled hide-a-bed for small apartments (hop out and it rises to the ceiling to open up floor space)? A tricycle-lawnmower combo (puts wasted play energy to work)? A marshmallow candle cooker (dont wait for a campfire to enjoy your favorite treat)? The ideas in this book are 100% genius with a Klutz twist, but it also teaches a little bit about the process so kids can dream up their own inventive inventions.
Comes with: 198 pages of wit and creativity unlike any the world has ever seen
