Don't just judge a book by it's cover.
Surely its cover
I'm beginning to be rather fond of the tone of this discussion myself.

Apologies -- typing with one hand, while trying to feed toddler with the other...
Good point about font, too. Possibly this book is in need of washing in holy water...
-
Or you could just get hold of a bell and a candle (since you've got the book already).
I can vouch for the contents of the book. Sick, sick, sick. And very funny.

Always the proof readers after the book goes to print!

Thanks, Jolisa. I did my best on both (within the limitations of the available free fonts, of course)...

Think again, sonny-jim.
Ohhhh... great link, Robyn, cheers. I saw Helvetica recently and was amused by the designer who said that anachronist typefaces are the first thing he and his ilk spot in period films. But it was also very interesting.

My copy arrived this morning. 'round 11am, I dropped a gob of avacado on it but, as promised, it was removed without leaving a stain. Not sure it the same would happen for page 15 or 57.

On the other hand, it can be read easily with one hand.
I'm not sure "one-handed reading" quite fits here.
Then again, whatever floats your boat. Trickledown economics, so to speak?

dowse
artistically?

That's why it has a stain-proof cover.

Can't wait for next year's edition.

I would describe my response to the final Bollard adventure as gleefully appalled.

Really? I'd describe my reaction as appallingly gleeful.

I'd describe mine if that were possible before purchase.

I could read aloud to you from it.

It's a date.

Although given that your use is unusually well considered and, dare I say - almost appropriate - I for one am prepared to overlook it.
Thank you!

I must confess that I was a tad concerned about the possible reception for this piece. But "gleefully appalled" (or Scott A's "appallingly gleeful") isn't too bad. It's certainly better than: "And so that was when I had to fire him".
The other bit I was slightly worried about was, y'know, page 37.

here is a handy flowchart. And tshirt
respect

Page 37....yes....I have to admit that I was still holding my breath after reading that all the up tp page 50. After that I reached such a deep coma that it hasn't come back to my memory banks until you mentioned it! Bastard!
Now I am thinking about poor Mr Done...and all those netballers musky satin knickers again!!!
I am STILL looking for the continuation of the piece at the bottom of page 82...confusing...
There are some errors in the crossword David BTW. Check with your editor. I am shocked that he/she let such a puzzle through. Please put "clues across" FIRST next time. Doubly confused

Heh! I was pretty proud of "The opposite of fish" as a clue.

Imagine how difficult it's been for me to hold it in all this time. Now finally he has his comeuppance for his silly comments about the school-girls in their underwear -- perhaps the stupidest ever usage of "political correctness gone mad" in world history (which is a stiff competition). Oh, how he must be suffering (as I did).
Actually, I'm sure he won't care even the slightest.

Can I note that my plan is to do my xmas shopping at this book launch thingy on Dec 2. I am now slightly concerned about the "one handed, stain proof cover but am sure my aunty would appreciate that, so can I get this along with your other gems please at the book launch, otherwise I will have to order now I guess? To know is a good thing but :)

Oh, that particular page gave me a tea-down-the-nostrils moment.

I can't help but get a very strong image of seething boiling water followed by by the font itself shattering into thousands (actually 666) of pieces.
