My Review of Maurice Kanbar's excellent inventor's how-to book

This book is a fantastic collection of advice, references and warnings for anyone who has even the faintest idea for an invention. The author has had a great deal of success with his inventions and he explains specifics about many of them. His enthusiasm for the inventing process, and the development of an invention into a commercial product, is exciting and infectious. More useful, however, is his advice that can help you with your own inventions. You might not make millions of dollars by reading the book but you could easily save millions. He shows how to advance your invention and how to know when to stop. If you have a tenth of the success of the author due to knowledge gained from this book, you will have earned a great deal of money and had a lot of fun doing it.
Inventing and profiting off the product or royalties is a great way to optimize your time. The book follows Maurice through his experiences doing just that. There is no particular timeline as the book uses parts of the same examples for different points. The invention, development and marketing of Skyy vodka is key to the book. Though not a linear timeline, the book does describe details about each process. It even gives hints of the commercial success that was ultimately brought to Maurice from Skyy vodka. It was quite inspirational.

Do you have an idea for a product? Do you want to make it work? Of course! Get the book and find out how to or how not too. Stuffed with tips that worked for the author and a lot that you should avoid. The author has made hundreds of millions of dollars, (maybe billions), with his inventions and he admits that he isn't a scientist, engineer or anything else but ordinary. He is smart, effective and focused and he shows you how to be the same.

When people say "You can't do that", they mean "It's never been done like that." That's not a good enough reason.
