Helpful Score: 2

The title of this book is very misleading. I thought it was a book for the average person looking for ideas of ways to recycle their discarded things into something new and useful. Instead it is a coffee table art book. And since I am not the artistic type I was not thrilled with it. I paged through it (since I went to the trouble of getting it) and seen a few neat ideas but most were artsy-fartsy things normal people wouldn't display or be caught dead wearing. I hated the set-up as well. The book is divided into catergories and after all 1000 are pictured there is a LONG index telling what the item was supposed to be and what was used to make it. (so you can go back and find out what some of the things were intended to be....if you care. Overall I am glad I didn't wait on it through my wish list and didn't waste the credit.
