Reviews

A celebration of makers and hackers from half a century before they were called makers and hackers. How to Do Nothing with Nobody All Alone by Yourself is a treat in its totality.-- "Brain Pickings"

Had I known about it, Robert Paul Smith's 1958 book, How to Do Nothing with Nobody All Alone by Yourself, would have been my Bible. Smith gets down to the nitty-gritty on the first page: 'These are things you can do by yourself, ' he writes. 'You don't need any help from your mother or your father or anybody.'--Laurie Hertzel "the Star Tribune"

What a joy to give children something they can do without 'hollering for help'...How to Do Nothing with Nobody All Alone by Yourself is replete with the sort of fun that childhood should be, and too rarely is.-- "Blogcritics.com"
