MacGyver Manual Sets Release Date

The book project that has been in the works for the last couple of years has now set a release date of September 17, 2019.

The MacGyver Manual is written by reboot science adviser, Dr. Rhett Allain, and gives explanations of the science behind the MacGyverisms seen in the show. The book appears to focus on the reboot series with ‘shout outs” to the original and contains high quality illustrations and images along with the explanations of the science behind the MacGyverisms.

The project was first spotted on Amazon back in March 2018 and included page layouts which appeared to include both original and rebooted information. By May of the same year the date had already been pushed out to Jan 2019 and all images had been removed from the amazon page.  Today new images have appeared, including new cover image, along with new descriptions of the 208 page hard covered book and contents. Weirdly the Amazon title is ‘The Official MacGyver Handbook’ instead of the cover title of ‘The Total MacGyver Manual’. 

The book is currently available for pre-order for $25 U.S.
