Publisher's Summary

From the humble garden lawnmower to the ear-splitting electric guitar, James May returns with a typically wacky account of what makes these great machines work, one piece at a time.

Reassembly is merely a form of therapy, something that stimulates a part of my brain that is left wanting in my daily life. When I rebuild a bicycle, I reorder my head. So might you....

I'm delighted that you will be listening to an audiobook about putting things back together. It's a subject that fascinates me but which I assumed was a lonely passion that I would take to the grave, unconsummated by the normal channels of human interaction. Welcome! You and I, we are not alone, and our screwdrivers are our flashing Excaliburs as we sally forth to make small parts of the fragmented world whole again.

I want more!

This is so refreshing and relaxing to listen to at the same time. James May is a wordsmith in his own right on top of being a man with interesting perspective and insights. I only wish we got more of these, and that the tv show was available to me in the Netherlands.

I wish there was more.

I found James May a good narrator and the book content was amusing yet informative. I learnt a few things I didn't previously know.
