I wanted to like it cause I Danny Seo is pictured with an estimable Bernese Mountain Dog on the back cover, and because I liked his short-lived magazine. But Danny is a relentless fame-seeker and always seems a bit more interested in celebrity name-dropping than in crafting really useful projects. I thought this book was filled with mostly useless little projects (leather belt coasters--he's quite big on coasters, in fact) that would have next to no impact on recycling. Also, unless you have several spare stainless-steel bento boxes lying around (for mosquito-repellant carrying tins) some of these projects might cost more than a few bucks. There are a few truly simple and green projects (socks in a bucket by the front door). I'm just glad I can recycle this book. Here is Danny's blog: http://www.dannyseo.com/
