DESCRIPTION:
Trivia fans and American history buffs will love these quick fact-filled profiles.. The stuff of American life! It's at the heart of the American Dream: Invent a new product that fills a need, strikes a nerve or just seems like good fun and then--bang! Amass a fortune selling it to the world! Made in America tells over 200 such stories of "the little (and big) products that could." Inventions and innovations that changed the world in ways both large and small are featured, from the accidental creations of icons like Coca-Cola and the Slinky to culture-changing technology such as Microsoft and Google - with loads of Americana in-between

"A book entitled "Made in America"But printed and bound in China!?" according to Jim Healey. C'mon, this has to be a sick joke, really. A beautifully written book encompassing all of the great American products, manufacturing prowess, and ingenuity over the past 120+ yearsand yetpage 2 tells it all: PRINTED AND BOUND IN CHINA. Absolutely unacceptable.But, well, at least all of the products listed *IN* the book are American made, right? WRONG.

"this book is out dated" according to julie hook. the book is old and out dated alot of things in this book are no longer made in usa alot of it. "Really fun and interesting" according to Little Miss Cutey. What a great book. This gives you info on everything American. From Coca Cola and Barbie Dolls etc etc. It's really interesting because firstly, you may not have realised that something is actually American made/invented, and then with so many products in here, something is bound to capture your interest. It will tell you all about that product like the date it was invented, where, how etc. This is a really cool gift for someone, or just ente
