Recommendation: meh 4.3 / 5 from 104 reviews

I loved this book and it's format. It is just pictures of different simple machines and variations of them. It is a great way to learn simple machines and because it is only pictures with no explanations, figuring out the builds feels like puzzles. With each successful build, you feel a sense of pride and because you actually have to figure it out and not just follow a set of step-by-step instructions you actually learn SO MUCH more.If you don't already have a ton of technic parts then I would recommend buying a few generic technic part kits then you will have everything you need to play with this book. I am 48 years old and this book will keep me busy for days or weeks.
