Format:Hardcover
I received this book as a present and thought the concept was brilliant - the book is really informative about how different materials are made but there aren't many projects in the book and I can only think of one which you could actually make yourself so ultimately it was a bit dissapointing.

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.

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.
