Myth Busters

I gave both of the Myth Buster books to my son, who is an Industrial Tech teacher in high school. He is really looking forward to using them with his students.

Great gift

I try to buy my son a Mythbusters book each year & again he loved it - thanks and nice fast shipping!

A well-done book based on a great show!

I've only caught MythBusters a few times on tv, but enjoy it enough to have shelled out for the book. It's fun to be able to read about their efforts without having to go to the effort to remember when the show is on tv ... Well written, with the same sense of humor and fun that Adam and Jamie display on the air. (And, for the reviewer who panned the book because she 'didn't know it was based on a tv show,' ... why should you blame the book because you didn't read the description? The summary very clearly states what the book is about, and what it's based on!)

Great pictures and myths- should come out with more of these

This is a fun little book with great color pictures and interesting myths. One could be tempted to skip through all the writing about what they actually did during the show and just read if the myth's busted. Very interesting and easy to just flip through- certainly don't need to read it cover to cover. Considering these 30 myths were probably from about 20 of their many episodes, they should come out with more books like this so people who don't get the Discovery Channel (like me) and can only catch it occasionally somewhere else can read up on the myths in these nifty books.
