The Make: Complete eBook Collection
(PDF) is exactly what it sounds like. It's 32 volumes of MAKE, spanning its 6 year history. That's enough DIY projects and articles to keep anyone busy for a long time, and it's a lot easier to
carry around!
MAKE magazine brings the do-it-yourself mindset to all the technology in
your life, and now you can download MAKE in PDF format. Each PDF of
MAKE is loaded with exciting projects that help you make the
most of your technology at home and away from home. We celebrate your
right to tweak, hack, and bend any technology to your own will.
Published as a quarterly since February 2005, MAKE is a hybrid
magazine/book (known as a mook in Japan). MAKE comes from O'Reilly, the
Publisher of Record for geeks and tech enthusiasts everywhere. It
follows in line with the Hacks books and Hardware Hacking Projects for Geeks, but it takes a highly visual and personal approach.
