Summary: A Humorous Respite From My Patent Practice
Review: As a patent attorney, protecting my clients' inventions is a rather serious business. And so I look forward to reading the author's upcoming book compiling the wacky inventions taken from his ...website. If the book is half as funny as the website, it's bound to be a bestseller.

Summary: A great book to stir ones mind
Review: Being a semi-bald man I was shocked to find that one day I might find myself in litigation over a *comb-over* hair style - yep someone actually patented a *comb-over*. I thought the book was well written and the illustrations helped me while I tried to understand a trailer hitch toilet seat for camping, an arm mitten, and a bunch of other gadgets that actually have real patents. Buy it...it's fun.

Review: How can I update the cover art for my book and get the editorial review corrected? Can you please send me an email address to make the proper corrections and would you please not post this request to your review section. This is not a review. I cannot find any alternative to reach the proper contacts. Thanks, Ted

Summary: Fine book, but not always accurate.
Review: I didn't know how else to get an email to you, but how do you order these items in the book? I do not have the book, but just saw some items on Rosie O'Donnell. I want to get one of the bird feeder hats and didn't know how to go about it. Thanks!!

Summary: Fine book, but not always accurate.
Review: The author attempts to laugh on the inventions and patents. Unfortunately he is not always thorough enough in his thoughts. For example 'Do you think it is something wrong in combining babies water and electricity'. Sounds dangerous, but it is not: think about your 1.5 Volt battery try to touch skin with it : you feel nothing.
Dear Mr. Vancleave! Nerve impulses themselves are 'electricity' - you should not afraid of the word itself, but try to understand the physics beyond it.
Respectfuly,

Summary: Totally Absurd Inventions
Review: This is the funniest book you'll read in some time! I am an inventor and I know what it takes to make an invention marketable. And believe me, what is in these totally absurd inventions is NOT marketable...other than for good humor. However, I must say, there was one invention that did actually receive some interest from a university in Great Britain...a patent having to do with cow gas. That's right...gas! So go figure!
