## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Jumping wholeheartedly into the "Maker" lifestyle.
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2017*

I sometimes imagine what it would be like if I quit just tinkering around and jumped wholeheartedly into this inventor or “Maker” lifestyle you hear about.  The idea is overwhelming and frankly a bit discouraging, because there are so many different aspects to this broad thing we call “inventing” and a lot of ways to run off the rails.  Enter Sean Ragan’s new book, which purports to be the TOTAL Inventor’s Manual.I picked up this colorful, abundantly illustrated book as a self-indulgent Christmas present in the hopes that it would give me a little New Years’ kick.  I’m very happy with it.  It turns out that yes, inventing is hard and complicated, and yes, it is indeed appallingly tricky to bring an invention to fruition, but if you are persistent and energetic, this book will guide you through the necessary 200-odd steps. I put it down feeling energized and optimistic.Interspersed amongst the “How To” chapter-lets are profiles of and quotes from real inventors.  These are especially inspiring once you realize that the main thing separating them from you is persistence and energy.  Persistence and energy.  Hey, I can do that!  My favorite quote from the book’s collection comes from the inventor of the Dyson vacuum.  It makes me feel lots better about the time I mocked up 10 different variants of a certain gizmo, none of which worked.  “I made 5,127 prototypes of my vacuum before I got it right.  There were 5,126 failures.  But I learned from each one.  That’s how I came up with a solution.  So I don’t mind failure.”5,117 to go.

    A must-have manual for every inventor and every "inventor-mentor"
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2017*

If you want to bring a new product to market, or you mentor people that do, this Popular Science book by Sean Ragan has nailed it.  He fully comprehends the risk, benefits, pitfalls and path to success that every new product must encounter, and he does it in an easy to absorb, step-by-step, logical manner.  He shows you how to minimize your risk during the product development phase, fine tune and market-test the product for your most profitable market, highlights ways to get your product produced economically, and then how to get it funded and on its way into customer's lives.  Whether you're half way there and stumped or just starting out, you need to have this manual in your life.  Finally, the design of the manual is brilliant.  The book pages are as durable as my now 60 year old Boy Scout Handbook, The fabulous illustrations keep the book light and enjoyable to glide through.  It's "bulletproof" durability, water resistance, shop-proof and thus will serve not just you but the many inventors you will gift it to down the road.  I wish I had this manual when I started out 50 years ago.  I'm going to buy half-dozen more copies right away and send them to friends who are currently involved in product development or who mentor those that are.  This could serve as an inventor's text book for a four-semester college class.  Thank you, Mr. Ragan and thanks to Popular Science for bringing this product to market.The Total Inventors Manual (Popular Science): Transform Your Idea into a Top-Selling Product

    Very complete in content. good illustrations
  

*by R***. on Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2020*

One of the best books on inventing I have seen. The only fault I have is that the print is too small and a chore to read for my elderly eyes. Suggest you order it on trial and see how it is for  you,  RS
