Makes a stunning gift for the book lover in your life
This kit comes beautifully packaged in a very sturdy, compartmentalized box. The hardcover book with the set is lovely as well as helpful and clear. The supplies are useful - yes, some things (like the glue stick) you could get at your local office supply store, but many other included supplies are more difficult to come by and are very high quality.

As for the issue of whether or not you get real value for your money (given the high price tag) - I'll be honest. I bought this kit for less than half the ordinary retail price, so I'm extremely happy with it and feel that I got my money's worth. Had I paid over $100, I'd be a little disappointed.

Very overpriced - minimal repair capability
I was aware before I bought this kit that some reviews questioned the value of this kit and boy were they right! I bought the kit at a remaindered book store for just over thirty dollars and even at that price I feel it was not quite value for money. Admittedly it does have a good selection of repair supplies that it would be difficult to assemble elsewhere; but I feel that I would have been more satisfied if it had been priced at fifteen to twenty dollars; the list price of around one hundred dollars is crazy and you'd have to be crazy to think that was value for money. The kit is packaged in a very fancy, expensive looking, but unnecessary and rather impractical, box. The book that accompanies the kit gives detailed instructions on how to tackle some minor repairs - but they are minor - mostly tears to pages and lightly damaged covers and spine. It is FIRST AID; you cannot rebind a book with this kit and infuriatingly it gives advice on some repairs that require additional non-supplied materials for which an order form is included!
If you can get it at a much reduced price you may find it useful if you have torn pages or dustcovers, a loose flyleaf, or slightly damaged spines. But, if like me you have an old book which has a completely loose cover, and bound pages that are falling apart, you need a bookbinder; this kit will not do it.

worthless
You can assemble this so-called kit together yourself at only a fraction of the cost (even at the bargain-basement price). Let's face it, the tools provided here are poorer than poor, the same scissors, glue, and needles you'd find at any 99C store. As for the instruction book, you'd be much better off buying a real volume on book repair from either Amazon or one of those library supplies store (such as Gaylord). That leaves only the bulky box itself. I suppose it does look better than a shoebox on the bookshelf. But you'd be a fool to pay so much just for that. In short, for the same amount of money, why not buy yourself a nice new book instead?

Wow! I was looking for just this kit!
I got an issue of a German women's magazine Freundin and theyfeatured this Booklover's Repair Kit. I'd been looking all over for a proper set of materials to repair some old bindings. This is simply brilliant.

It would take me many trips or orders by mail, phone or internet to assemble all these necessary items. Not only is everything you need in this kit, but you can also use it to make your own bookbindings (you need some kind of press, but that can be a piece of wood and some clamps, and a bone folder which can be found in craft stores that carry scrapbooking items.) If you like to scrapbook or do your own journal OR if you collect old books, this kit is a must.

Scarlett O'Hara['s book] was not beautiful...
At last someone has grasped the depth of personal sentiment attached not merely to content but to the medium, the books themselves, those volumes with their loose covers, cracked bindings and torn pages.Thank you, Ms. Ellis and Messrs. Wiggins and Lee.

As I have watched my niece graduate from Ramona and Harry Potter to Judy Blume, I have wondered how I could give her my adored but crumbling copy of Gone With The Wind, worrying about her rejecting it for its evident decay, or worse, the book's ability to withstand another reading.Now a talented trio has put together a kit which will allow butterfingered me to repair the novel before passing it on.The Booklover's Repair Kit doesn't just tell me how to do it, in straightforward terms with helpful diagrams.Much more in fact, since everything I may need to fix the book comes with it.

If you give a damn about the books on your shelf, you will want the Booklover's Repair Kit to join them with its handsome packaging and enough supplies to fix a dozen or so tattered books, be they Proust or Mitchell. ... Read more

Thedentists hygenist asked me if I'd recently had my teeth cleaned, sincewthere was so little plaque. That tip alone, made the book worth it.

A New Perspective!
Being "technologically challenged," there were parts of this book that were over my head, but it was still a great resource because it gave me a new way to look at marketing. I'm now looking at "the bigger picture" and what the book says makes a lot of sense. It covers a lot of material in a very concise way and is a great addition to my marketing bookshelf.

This book should be in everyone's hands!
Antonio and Kris, you guys rock!!I am so blown away!Never have I read a book with so much detailed information.It is as if these guys are are a personal vendetta to see everyone succeed and they are not holding back any information in the process.There is no way to fail if you seriously take these steps.This is a dream come true!Myself and my children have been wanting to write and publish our own books for some time now but there was no information available until now.Thanks, Kris and Antonio.I highly recommend this book for all.

One of the better marketing tools around!
Though I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Kris Kiler, I can vouch for Antonio Crawford as one of the most dynamic guys on the planet! If this go-getter, with his heart of gold stamped with integrity and courage, can pour his excellent ideas and energy into a book, then that book is well worth buying! I'm so glad I have now added it to my own personal library, and I encourage everyone else who wants to achieve his/her dream to do the same.

Helped me understand the bigger possibilities!
This book gives solid strategies and tactics.While I knew about a few ways to turn my ideas into products, this book really helped open my eyes to the bigger picture and all the options available.I especially liked their 3 Tiered Wealth Generation Pyramid model that did a great job explaining how to structure my offerings.It made me completely revise my approach.Their exercises and worksheets were also very helpful in helping me refine my strategies.

It's a very quick read and densely packed with good info to get you thinking bigger about the possibilities for your intellectual property. ... Read more

Product Description
This study covers the latent demand outlook for first aid kits across the prefectures and cities of Japan. Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across some 1,000 cities in Japan. For each city in question, the percent share the city is of it’s prefecture and of Japan is reported. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city vis-à-vis others. This statistical approach can prove very useful to distribution and/or sales force strategies. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each prefecture and city, latent demand estimates are created for first aid kits. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved. ... Read more
