Best of Instructables book

As regular BB readers know, Instructables.com is a hub of HOWTO where makers post step-by-step guides to building everything from a magnetic refrigerator lights to a dog wheelchair to a marshmallow shooter. Eric Wilhelm and Christy Canida, the proprietors of Instructables, are quintessential Happy Mutants and we're delighted that their site has become so popular. It now features more than 10,000 projects! Instructables and MAKE magazine have compiled a slew of the best of the site's offerings in a terrific 300 page book, The Best of Instructables, Volume 1, published this week. More than 120 projects are organized into categories like home & garden, robotics, food, and photography. I think I've found the perfect holiday gift for the riot nrrrds and maker youth (of all ages) on my list! Watch the video above to hear about the book from Eric and the Instructables community.

Hey Dave, what about "The Best of Project Magazine"? This volume has all kinds of directions for constructing urban high-rise buildings, painting patterns, and fiber optic cinching. The 1998 edition came with a free pager schematic.

MACKENZIE @1, I feel like you're joking, but I don't get it.
