|title=Why We Make Things and Why It Matters: The Education of a Craftsman
|rating=4
|genre=Autobiography
|summary='My intuition from the day I first picked up a hammer was that making things with a commitment to quality would lead to a good life,' Peter Korn writes. As an aimless, free-spirited University of Pennsylvania student, he moved to Nantucket Island to earn the rest of his college credits through independent study and happened to be offered a carpentry job. That arbitrary job choice at the age of twenty would come to define the rest of his career. Manual labour was all new to him, but 'from the start there was a mind/body wholeness to carpentry that put it way ahead of what I imagined office work to be.'

|summary=After years of doing craft work which must be ''useful'', I've discovered the relaxing benefits of colouring. I'm doing it to please me: it doesn't need to be perfect or functional. No one but me is going to judge the finished article. All it needs is to be done, slowly, peacefully and at my own pace. The choice of colours is mine and mine alone. If I want to drop the finished page into the paper recycling then that's my prerogative. It's sheer indulgence on paper, lasts longer than a bottle of wine and does me more good. What's not to love about colouring?
