A fun read with different inventions I hadn't heard of before (or not in that/those version/s).

A few had me scratching my head, even with the times some were invented in.


Would recommend:)

Clever little book. I especially enjoyed the various portable bathtubs that have been invented over the course of the last century. It is also fun to go to Murphy's website to be quizzed on more inventions: http://www.jimmurphybooks.com/default....
