5.0 out of 5 stars Cool Tools- The 2004 edition whole earth minilog, January 14, 2004
An amazing collection of useful stuff and ideas. From digital gadgets to cultural insights. The comments about the print quality are missing the point. This isn't a design tome, it's a reference guide. A fascinating guide for explorers of life on earth.

5.0 out of 5 stars nice guide to essential stuff, December 26, 2003
By "grayga" (Tulsa, OK United States) - See all my reviews
a really nice guide to some really good stuff to make life a lot easier!! Espically since some of Kelly's better picks made it under the Christmas tree( UPS delivered the book on December 26th--so he must understand our household pretty well)

5.0 out of 5 stars Getting it right!, December 17, 2004
Kevin Kelly has a great grasp of "cool" and "tools". Recently we needed to purchase several new items that are discussed in his book. We followed his recommendations and he hit it right on the mark -- on every time. His book, "Cool Tools" is a COOL TOOL!
