This is an entertaining look at the creation of items we just can't do without. This history of things like the paper clip, coffee filter, the toothbrush, and Monopoly game are presented as amusing snippets of history grouped by where the items are most likely found i.e. the kitchen, bathroom, office, etc. Humorous side comments include an ever increasing group of inventors who lost out because they didn't get patents appear throughout. This is one that is easy to pick up, read a bit, and leave for the next installment. It was ideal reading before going to sleep at night.
