This slim book is an earlier version of our Recomendo: Expanded Edition. It features the best of our first two years of our weekly Recomendo newsletter. These are very brief, easy to read recommendations about our favorite places to visit, things to watch or listen to, favorite tools to use, as well as tips for work or home, and techniques we’ve learned, quotes we like to remember, and so on. In other words this is the best stuff I know about. Since that first edition we’ve made a newer and bigger edition, so this first edition is primarily for completists. Each copy is signed by me. – KK

Reviews:
Useful, Fun Book From the Cool Tools Folks. First, Cool Tools is the most consistently useful destination for me on the web. I can't count the amount of good tips, tools, savvy I've found there. It's the electronic Whole Earth Catalog, using the same formula of non-commercial reviews by people of like interests. Now, Kevin Kelly, Mark Frauenfelder, and Claudia Dawson have come up with a dandy little book of cool stuff. You can't browse on a computer like you can with a real book. I started thumbing through it one night, serendipitously, and found that the small size was easy to deal with, and pretty soon an hour had passed. Fun! Secondly, full disclosure: I've been a Cool Tools contributor (and fan) for years. So I'm not unbiased. But I believe in peer reviews, such as was started in the late '60s by the WEC. It's so refreshing to get non-commercial information from this tribe of tool users. — Lloyd Kahn
Good things to buy and know. It seems ironic recommending a book about recommendations but I am. This is a quick reference for the first things to look at from office supplies to kitchen gadgets, travel gear to reading material. It’s got something for just about everyone and not everything is a purchased item. Some things are just handy tips and tricks. — Jill A. Schroeder
