The Book by Martin Bailey That Solves All Your 21st Century Problems, One Gadget at a Time is Back for a Second Edition

"The Useful Book of Gadgets, Gizmos and Apps" explains everything you need to know about the world's most innovative, useful, fun, extravagant or even obscene gadgets.

We all rely on technology every day, but how many of us really harness it, or even know what's available to help us in our work or leisure activities. Now in its second edition, "The Useful Book of Gadgets, Gizmos and Apps" brings together everything you need to know about the latest technology, whether you are an unashamed techie or taking your first tentative steps into geekdom.

This second edition has been completely re-worked, updating every single product to cover any further developments and refreshing many of the included images. A new section, Quick Hits, crams in even more useful technology and websites that still warrant a mention, and the Future of Gadgets looks a little deeper into where technology will continue to take us.

The author, Martin Bailey, has been fascinated with technology ever since he swapped his Scalextric for a Sinclair ZX81 aged 11 and realised his generation was on the verge of something amazing. Since learning BASIC programming language in the 80s, he avidly followed the rise of technology and the explosive growth of the internet, before finally amalgamating his career with his passion to work for two award-winning software companies. "The Useful Book of Gadgets, Gizmos and Apps" is his eighth book, having previously written other guides to make technical know-how more accessible, including Learn to use a PC in 90 minutes.

"The Useful Book of Gadgets, Gizmos and Apps" gives a completely independent, impartial view on all the technology, and items featured are ones the author has owned, used or recommends following in-depth research. The book is designed to be a short, succinct read, that can be picked up and digested quickly, so readers can easily find solutions to life's little problems, some of which they didn't even know they had, such as how to:

Keep your PC running like new
Never lose a password again
Protect data from prying eyes
Win more online auctions
Build your own DropBox alternative
Turn any bike into a smart bike
Get a better workout on the treadmill
Turn your phone into a photocopier, filing system or security camera
Change your mood without drink or drugs
Remotely check on and entertain your pets

"The Useful Book of Gadgets, Gizmos and Apps" by Martin Bailey is due to be published on 17th November 2017 by Management Books Ltd., priced £12.99. It's available for purchase on Amazon and all good retail outlets. For further information visit www.theusefulbookofgadgets.com.
