it's more like an index than a book. There are no instructions in the book itself. It's a picture inventory with links to different webpages.

And a huge amount of items are "3D print this". This was disappointing. It's basically just a curated printables list. The stuff listed looked really well designed, but I was hoping for more of a "here's simple machines and tools to build when you don't have access to better equipment"

In a way, or at least in spirit, it's similar to the Whole Earth Catalog: Access To Tools, which is something NODE has mentioned enjoying before. So I suppose it is more of a catalog. It is unfortunate it's reliant on having an internet connection to be used, but still, quite an impressive collection.
