When the fuzz from his sweater was pulled off by a brick wall he was leaning against, Maurice Kanbar had a brainstorm. Soon he had patented, produced and successfully promoted the D-Fuzz-It sweater comb, and made his first fortune at the age of twenty-two. In this engaging “master class” Kanbar’s real world hits and misses illustrate the concrete steps every inventor must follow to successfully take his product to market.

Have you ever seen inventors on TV or in the newspaper and thought, "That could be me!" Well, it certainly could—and this book shows you how. Kids Inventing! gives you easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions for turning your ideas into realities for fun, competition, and even profit. From finding an idea and creating a working model to patenting, manufacturing, and selling your invention, you get expert guidance in all the different stages of inventing. You'll see how to keep an inventor's log, present your ideas, and work as part of a team or with a mentor. You'll meet inspiring kids just like you who designed their own award-winning inventions. And you'll see how to prepare for the various state and national invention contests held each year, as well as international competitions and science fairs.

So, you've got a great idea. By now, you have probably realized that there are many steps to take along this journey to bring your idea to market, but the most important step is getting a great product design logbook, commonly known as an "inventor's notebook." This Product Design Logbook was developed specifically for inventors who want to be more discrete in carrying around their inventor's notebook... thus we titled it, Product Design Logbook. After all, that's what inventing is all about - designing a new product, redesigning an existing product to make it better, or designing a better way to manufacture a product. This hardback edition allows inventors to remove the jacket if they wish and enjoy an attractive cloth edition without having those conspicuous words on the cover "INVENTOR'S NOTEBOOK." Because your logbook will become your constant companion, this edition provides ample space to record your ideas as well as a table of contents to record the progression of your logbook so you can easily locate projects, ideas, research, drawings, revisions, and notes. In the back of the book, you will find a section called Contacts & Addresses to record contact information for important individuals... perhaps contacts relevant to the inventions in this logbook. If this logbook will become an addition to an existing set of notebooks, you can identify the volume number on the title page along with your personal information. As a cloth edition, you can also use a silver marker to identify the volume number on the spine of the book further helping you keep organized. Lastly, you will find a section at the end of the book called Recommended Reading. Although there are many books on the market that provide invaluable information, we listed a few that we thought were noteworthy and covered a broad range of subjects. We hope the Product Design Logbook will help you organize your ideas to achieve great success with your inventions!
