The latest work from author Melissa Heckscher has been called "the Swiss Army Knife of books." Chock-full of tools, charts, rulers, gadgets, form letters and more, "Use This Book! The Only Book You'll Ever Need" can come in handy in thousands of everyday situations. Here's a closer look:

? Forgot your watch? Turn to page 157 and assemble a sundial.

? Need a drink? Go to page 193 and fold together a drinking cup.

? Desperate to beat the heat? Open to page 197 and build yourself a cooling fan.

? Stuck on a commuter rail? Jump to page 153 and cut out the chess board, complete with game pieces.

Page 151 features a template for the "perfect" paper airplane. Pages 155 to 156 feature maps of the world. Page 9 features a No Parking sign. Also included are luggage tags, dance steps, eye doctor's test chart and more.
