Divorced mother Bette Nesmith was unaccustomed to using an electric typewriter that was unforgiving of errors. A freelance artist, she brought a tiny bottle of white tempera paint to work the next day and created Liquid Paper. (Her original name for the product was Mistake Out, and her son is Mike Nesmith of The Monkees fame).These are just a few of the fascinating stories told in Why Didn't I Think of That?. They are tales about some of the world's best loved inventions and ideas that made life easier for everyone, and made life very easy for their inventors who rode their renown all the way to the bank.Insightful, detailed, and always quirky, why Didn't I Think of That? chronicles the odd origins of famous products, explores how these inventions changed our lives, and reveals the business side of their production and distribution.
