what these celebs have been dreaming up in their spare time!
The Big Book of Celebrity Inventions offers a fascinating, hilarious
and utterly unique look at the extraordinary business of inventing, seen
through the eyes of our favourite stars.

one thing's for certain: The Big Book of Celebrity Inventions is the
ultimate celebration of oddness, originality and ingenuity, sure to
