surprising mobile 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I read Tim Rose's book in an afternoon and built my first mobile with things laying about. I turned out the light to leave for the day, and when I looked back into the room, my mobile was dancing in the moonlight. What a good book.

"Making Creative Mobiles" is a Winner 5 out of 5 stars.

TR's book is entertaining as well as instructional. He is a wonderful teacher: precise, imaginative, and sincere. A must for anyone in love with mobiles.

Great for the beginner, but very short and overpriced 4 out of 5 stars.

If you haven't created mobiles before and are interested in where to start then you'll probably find this book interesting; it will help teach you the first steps in mobile creation and stimulate your thinking about mobiles.
But I do feel the book is lacking, particularly in that the information seems relevant only to beginners, but also that the book is so short, and for the price this is a big disappointment. Amazon product information shows it as 80 pages but if you subtract the front pages and table of contents it has 73 pages, and of those 13 are blank pages for sketching your own mobile ideas. $18.95 for a 60 page book in black and white with no photos (only sketches) seems a bit expensive to me.
Still, there aren't that many good books on creating mobiles so you may want to splurge on this one.

WOW! 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.

This is the best book for anyone who is even considering going into hobby class remote control cars. I read it over and over and over, and now people can't stopme from spewing out random RC facrs! Did you know that a 4 stroke rc car engine gives out less HP on avrage than a 2 stroke, yet costs more? 2 strokes have a greater bottom end power, but reach a lower top speed! A .12 2 stoke may cost 129, vs a 4 stroke that may cost 300. Sorry, sorry everyone, im sorry, but I couldn't help myself. GET THIS BOOK!

Editorial Review:

Auroras plastic models of classic Hollywood movie monsters are enduring pop culture standards. Kids and adults around the world recognize Frankenstein, Dracula, the Wolf Man, and the Mummy. Although monsters are Auroras most famous products, the company created model kits of all varieties, including historic sailing ships, sports cars, moon rockets, military and commercial aircraft, TV stars, comic book heroes, wildlife scenes, knights, and much more, all included in this book. Over 450 color photographs enhance this comprehensive history and guide to Aurora models. The Aurora empire was once the worlds largest producer of hobby products. Here, corporation executives, sculptors, artists, and engineers who created Auroras models tell the story in their own words. Every model Aurora made and some that never went into production are described in detail, with information on reissues and current collectors market values. Collectors maintain a brisk trade in vintage Aurora plastic, and new companies continue to reissue some of Auroras timeless kits.
