Synopsis

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 re-order 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.

Goodreads review by Maire on February 18, 2023

James May is my favorite endearing eccentric, and this short foray into his mechanical meanderings in the name of reassembling nostalgic bits and pieces from his childhood days was a fun little romp that brought a smile to my face and a chuckle or two to my lips. Makes one appreciate the dedication......more
