Specializing in activity-driven books, The Klutz credo is: Create wonderful things, be good, have fun. Klutz was incorporated in 1977 in Palo Alto, California, by three friends from Stanford University who sold sidewalk juggling lessons along with no-bounce bean bags. Today, how-to books from Klutz inspire creativity with their combination of crystal clear instructions, custom tools and materials and hearty helpings of humour.
