Why read it?
1 author picked Invention as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
My father was an inventor. That is what is says on his tombstone. Over 100 patents.
His products today in building supply shops and in real buildings. And some crazy inventions that did not make him famous, but he had fun with.

From Tom's list on learning successful invention and business methods.
