--Dave Giancaspro, Wired.com/GeekDad
"Snip, Burn, Solder, Shred is a great inspiring atlas of do-it-yourself recycle or cheap home projects that aren’t your run-of-the-mill paper dolls! If you know a creative fun person looking to build something with kids, or even someone who hasn’t got a clue how to do crafts, this book’s well-written instructions, pictures, and fun attitude would be a great gift to beat boredom!"
--Tired Mom Kelli, 2 Wired 2 Tired
"Think of Snip, Burn, Solder, Shred as a recipe book for fun with kids, who may not realize how fun science and craft can be. There's a goodly amount of tinkering with electronics, but all of it fun and safe."
--Fridtjof, GameVortex Communications AKA Matt Paddock, Game Vortex
