*"Cool Tools* is a highly curated selection of the best tools available for
individuals and small groups. Tools include hand tools, maps, how-to books,
vehicles, software, specialized devices, gizmos, websites -- and anything
useful. Tools are selected and presented in the book if they are the best
of kind, the cheapest, or the only thing available that will do the job.
This is an oversized book which reviews over 1,500 different tools,
explaining why each one is great, and what its benefits are. Indirectly the
book illuminates the possibilities contained in such tools and the whole
catalog serves an education outside the classroom. The content in this book
was derived from ten years of user reviews published at the Cool Tools
website, cool-tools.org."
