Editorial Reviews

From the Author

This is a workbook designed and developed because of pleas and persistence by many to make available to them and the world the lessons learned from my many attempts to develop ideas into products. This is an elaboration of the structured system I used to control and monitor the ideas and their thoughts during the process of inventing numerous products at once.

From the Back Cover

Ideas are the result of your imagination stepping outside the "norm" and looking at something from a completely different perspective. History heralds those who have not just had ideas but have acted upon them, taking the steps to bring their ideas to reality.

5.0 out of 5 stars The valuable inventing logbook, July 26, 2000

By

This review is from: The Idea Logbook (Paperback)

I have purchased and used The Idea Logbook on the development of numerous product inventions that my company has been (and is) developing.

This book offers substantial information about the overall inventing process of which I have greatly appreciated, but there are two valuable assets to it that is imperative in developing a new product.

The first one is its ability to aid me in monitoring all my costs, time and material. As an electronic assembly manufacturer, this is essential in determining production and marketing figures.

The second factor, it is a logbook that provides me with the ability to continually add additional writings, drawings, data and support documentation that ALWAYS occurs during the development process. This is vital for the protection of the ideas as it confirms dates and key development information.

I will continue using The Idea Logbook for each one of my current and future ideas ( I use a book for each idea) and recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone who is looking to develop an invention.
