Made in America from Levi's to Barbie to Googe is a book that shows everything that was made in America in detail meaning the date of the production of that product and the amount of money that was spent on it and many other details. It talks about invention and innovations that changed the world wheter it's an invention thhat fells a need or just an invention for fun.
