When you're young, broke, and in search of a life of adventure, Making Stuff and Doing Things is the most useful book on the planet. It's been called "more important than the Bible." It's an indispensable handbook full of basic life skills for the young punk or activist, or for anyone who's trying to get by, get stuff done, and live life to the fullest without a lot of money. The book started as a series of zines, with dozens of contributors setting down the most important skills they knew in concise, often hand-written pages. If you want to do it yourself or do it together, this book has it all, from making your own tooth paste to making your own art and media, feeding, clothing, cleaning, and entertaining yourself, surviving on little, living on less, and staying healthy on all your life's adventures. You'll never be bored again.

Industry Reviews

"More important than the Bible." --Heartattack

"Full of amazing information without being too heavy handed or too general. This book should be a staple in every punk house!" --Ray Suburbia

"It's like the Time-Life series for punks all in one volume, for one low-low price!" --Hanging Like a Hex

"From making clothes, to making out, from taking care of your pet, to dealing with the problem of fruit flies, from binding a book to brewing some beer, this book has got everything covered. ... The DIY solution to almost any problem you might have is contained within this book." --Last Hours

"You probably need this book. Dozens of underground zinesters compile their essays, diagrams, and comix about how to do things and how things work that will explain how to compost, fix a toilet, make toothpaste, clothes, and root beer, take care of sick animals, understand how your penis works, organize your day, or create your own buttplug. Plus about a thousand more hints Heloise never gave out." --Rocktober
