| 1. |  | The Craft of Research, Third Edition (Chicago Guides to Writing, Editing, and Publishing)
from University Of Chicago Press
Price: $11.56
Customer Review:
The third edition of this classic text pales when compared to the second edition.

I bought this book for my 11 year old son, thinking he would be able to put some of these together himself. These are clearly devices that rquire supervision not only for firing, but also for constructing. Very cool, but not for independent assembly. | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I liked this book, it's got a lot of projects kids would be interested in doing, and they all have room for improvement. I think that's a good thing though. Instead of step by steps to a perfect polished project, you can add in your own touches and refinements.
As far as lot of the projects... more info | 3.0 / 5.0
