How to be a Villain: Evil Laughs, Secret Plans, Master Lairs and More!!! by Neil Zawacki


How to be a Villain: Evil Laughs, Secret Plans, Master Lairs and More!!!
Neil Zawacki
2003, Chronicle Books, San Francisco

160p.

A little book which gives details on how to be a classic literary bad guy.

It's a villainous little book! I loved the retro artwork, I think without the art this book wouldn't work. The author seems a little passive-aggressive at times, but that's what makes it so fun.

What's Your Poo Telling You? by Josh Richman and Anish Sheth


What's Your Poo Telling You?
Josh Richman and Anish Sheth
2007, Raincoast Books, Vancouver
0811857824
95p.

Small book which lists different types of poo and explains what causes each type. It contains little informative tid-bits about poo culture and history.

I never realised there were so many different types of poo. I have led a sheltered life. This book was laugh out funny, but too shameful to laugh at!
