5.0 out of 5 stars It's everything advertised to be., 20 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Thinkertoys: Handbook of Business Creativity for the 90's (Paperback)
This book is everything it's advertised to be. It's a creative thinking workshop in a book. I can't imagine how the author could have written a better or more useful book on creativity in business. Wonderful job, Michael!

5.0 out of 5 stars A One-of-a-kind resource., 17 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Thinkertoys: Handbook of Business Creativity for the 90's (Paperback)
This is a one-of-a-kind resource for creative thinking in business. This book is timeless and you will constantly use it when you need new ideas or new ways to solve problems. I keep it right next to me on my desk and bought copies for all my employees and friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every Creative Thinker Should Read This Classic, 24 May 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Thinkertoys: Handbook of Business Creativity for the 90's (Paperback)
Thinkertoys expands your imaginative capacities with easy-to-use techniques you can employ
again-and-again in all your creative endeavors. A newer book well worth reading is Why Didn't I
Think of That? - Think the Unthinkable and Achieve Creative Greatness. These two books together
cover the full spectrum of useful creative thinking skills every serious thinker must possess. The
skills are learned, not inborn. The very best approach to fully developing the skills in yourself is to read about them and practice them with books such as Thinkertoys and Why Didn?t I Think of
That?
