From out of nowhere, MAKE has rapidly become one of the hottest new magazines to hit the newsstands. Often coined "the bible of the Tech DIY movement" MAKE has coalesced a passionate if rather unorthodox following of geeks, gearheads, tech enthusiasts, hackers, tinkerers and artists united by a common compulsion to reconfigure the technology in their lives; even when it means violating a manufacturer's warranty or two.

Through the brilliantly written and beautifully illustrated magazine, podcasts and makezine.com website, the MAKE team has already won broad acclaim for their clear yet down-to-earth coverage and uncanny instinct for what moves Makers, and their ability to nail the curiosity, vibrance, and passion of the rapidly emerging "tech DIY" movement.

In this special re-release, all 4-Volumes of MAKE's first year are combined in a special 4-Volume Collector's Set.

The best magazine for creative minds!

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2008

Verified Purchase

Lots of amazing ideias for hacking and making extraordinary things from everyday house objects. It shows how to make soda rockets, a potato canon using spray cans, robots. The interviews with creative people are also very cool. Each magazine has around 200 pages of content!

Deceptive description??

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2006

Verified Purchase

Mark does a great job.

I love the magazine, great layout, great contents, and this a bargain price - but - one reason I bought this was seeing (Hardcover) in the description.

Sorry - putting four magazines in a slipcase, even a nice sturdy one, does NOT constitute a hardcover.

Great job otherwise, but the description needs to changed.

excellent source of ideas an inspiration

Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2007

I chanced upon an issue of Make magazine at the local "super chain" bookstore. I bought issue 11 and I was hooked. So I went looking for previous issues and I found a great deal on Amazon.com for the 1st year set.
Each issue is well organized and full of hacks of all kinds. I am working on my first beam bot and I look forward to trying my hand at programming an Arduino micro controller by the end of this year. There are so many things from these issues that I want to try out. So little time.

Great book for beginning, intermediate, advanced DIYers. For ideas, inspirations and detailed instructions.

I have since purchased the "Make: The Next year"

Make Magazine... Makin' Waves

Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2006

A long time ago (two decades ago) I tinkered with electronics and all sorts of mechanical contraptions (the robot I built and the hovercraft are but a few weird and wonderful things I made). Alas, even Radio Shack stopped selling the classic books on electronics by Forest Mims (ISBN: 0945053282 still available on Amazon.com).

However, to really do cool things with electronics you needed expensive micro-processors... so many of us went a played with computers... However, with the price of microcontrollers dropping to a few dollars... a new world was opening up. MAKE had entered this void with a brave, bold nicely desigened magazine.

Make is published quarterly, and is full of many projects, (not all of them electronics or even micro-processor based). The projects range from the silly (a timed tea bag remover... build out of a toaster mechanism!) to the cool (ramjet powered go-cart... Very Noisy and Very Fast!), to the artistic (cool devices to make Persistance of Vision designs while you dance).

Each project is carefully detailed, with clear instructions, copious pictures and links to further information, if necessary.

All projects are designed to allow the average hobbiest to quickly make their own version.

You are guarnteed to bookmark at least one project from each issues. I know I always go COOL!, I want to build that!.

No other magazine comes close to empowering the average person to become a "MAKER". Not since Wired magazines launch (over 10 years ago) has a magazine hit a un-met market with such brilliance. If you are interested in (or returning to) becoming a Maker, then MAKE is your guide.

Cover to Cover Goodness

Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2007

Make Magazine, in conjunction with the website, is a staple read for any electronics enthusiast, modder, or creative genius. Filled with succinct outlines of various projects, in depth reviews, and community involvement, every page will bring a return on the small investment made to secure volumes 1-9.
