(4) 4-6 Awesome Inventions You Use Every Day series. These formulaic books focus on the development of common beauty products (e.g., Q-tips) and fashion items (swimsuits), most of which have kid appeal. The tone is light (sometimes irritatingly so: "King Camp Gillette doesn't just have the most-kickin' name ever") and the treatments are brief, making the series good for browsing. The colorful layouts feature archival photos and illustrations alongside contemporary images. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Awesome Inventions You Use Every Day titles: Brilliant Beauty Inventions and Fabulous Fashion Inventions.
