I bought the first "How Stuff Works" for my son. He is into the hows and whys of almost everything and he enjoyed the book very much. So when he asked for "More How Stuff Works", I got it without hesitation. This second book includes a lot of material that are now part of our everyday life. Even my husband and I found it useful when we had to open my computer to reset a jumper and we found what the jumper looked and where it is in the computer. I encourage adults to read this book, too. It's not full of technical jargon so it's real easy to understand.

This is a very informative book and it explains everything so you can understand it. you can learn how everything from video games to an apache helicopter and is great for all ages. It includes detailed illustrations and side panels with extra information. If you have a curious mind you should purchase this book.

Do you know how stuff works? If not this book is choc-full of information about everything you could think of. How emails work, questions you have about ATM's, and everything in between. He talks about it all using laymans terms, so it's fairly easy to understand. It's full of vibrant pictures as well and is his second book about How Stuff Works (this has made me want to go get the first book). Read this and then go and impress all your friends - they'll think you're even smarter than before. Great book and I highly recommend this.

I was disappointed with this book because there were so few pictutres and they were small on the page and not even on every page. The print is too small for a young person. I would like to have known thee things before I ordered the book. It just was not as attractive to a young boy as the other book I ordered. I wanted this book for one of our grandchildren, age 9, but did not give it to him. In, fact, I would like to return it and exchange it for the other book I ordered, The New Way Things Work. So, I am wondering if I could get a postage free return label from you? Hopefully I can get the other book postage free too. Thanks. I would like to continue using Amazon to order items. LaVonne
