I've just noticed that there is a book by Klutz Press called LEGO Crazy
Action Contraptions, ISBN 1570541574, that contains 60 Technic pieces. Does
anyone know what parts come with this book? Is it worth spending £13 on it
just for the parts?

For just the parts, no. But if you have kids aged 7 to ... it's a great
way for them to pay with LEGO and build some really fun contraptions.

They have put lots of challenges in the book, and although the instructions
are not official LEGO quality, my boys loved whiling away a rainy week
building some of the neat contraptions.

Cheers,
