A simple and captivating story about a very important dog and a trombone-playing ant with extraordinary powers. A perfect gift for a friend or a loved one, Edward Monkton's most profound, quirky and inspirational illustrations are brought together once again in this exquisitely designed book. There was once a very IMPORTANT dog. He had a big office, a sharp suit, a fast car and the very snazziest of communications devices. One day, on his way to an extremely important meeting, the dog cast half a lobster sandwich into a dustbin. Ow! said an ant, appearing at the rim of the dustbin. What are you doing? I might ask the same of you, replied the dog indignantly. Well then, said the ant, wiping a dollop of mayonnaise from his forehead, I shall tell you. I was minding my own business and playing my trombone. That's ridiculous! laughed the dog. An ant playing a trombone! Not as ridiculous as a dog in a suit with a lobster sandwich, retorted ...

Pigs may not fly, but felines almost do! Every cat owner who has watched his or her pet soar from table to counter to the top of the curtains will swear that it's true. And here's the proof, in a photographic tribute to the cat's bold and brazen nature, as well as a whimsical reminder of what makes these animals so beloved. Cat fans will find it irresistible - and even cat haters will giggle wickedly at the some of the weird and wacky positions these kitties find themselves in. Every page features fearless felines in death-defying stunts: plummeting through outer space, swinging bravely on a circus trapeze, even cascading down a giant waterfall. And that's just the beginning of the wild and unexpected aerial adventures captured in images almost too amazing to be believed. So take a look and see what the world would be like if cats could fly!

"Etiquette is the difference between stable manners and table manners." - Texas Bix Bender Yessir, that's cowboy etiquette Cowboy Etiquette is a little ol' book that packs a big wallop, as it cleverly guides cowboys on keeping their cool in any situation, from the saddle to the steakhouse. Despite their rough-and-tumble life, cowboys just might be the friendliest and most mannerly bunch of guys around. Cowboy Etiquette reveals, though, that etiquette is more than just knowing when to say "yes ma'am" and "no sir"; it's about harkening back to a basic gentility of manner that we sorely miss today. Afraid of stuffy etiquette rules? Try etiquette the cowboy way; Texas Bix Bender makes etiquette as easy as pecan pie Texas Bix Bender is the best-selling author of the Don't Squat with Yer Spurs on series and writes for Riders Radio Theater.

The game of cricket was invented by the Brits, perfected by the West Indians and Australians, and to this day - and no doubt forever more - will continue to utterly baffle the everyday Yank. To say it is a strange sport is an understatement of Viv Richard's sized proportions. What other game would have you wearing the same colour as your opposition? What other game would it be good thing to have the runs? In what other arena would it be more fun watching a beach ball fly round the crowd rather than watch the professionals in the middle? But for all that, we don't just like cricket, oh no, we love it! However, yelling out pithy one-liners at a five-day test match requires a great deal of concentration, stamina and...booze. It is not for the timid or weak. Repetitive sayings may work for say, an eighty-minute rugby game, but yelling 'You're a loser' becomes downright boring by lunch on the third day. What better reason then to arm ...

Paperback w. flaps
Earth worship has replaced Christianity as the new religion in many Western countries. People now worry about their carbon footprint in the same way previous generations worried about their immortal souls. And like anything else that encourages people to become too earnest, the eco movement has set itself up as a prime target for lampoonery, hence this book! How to Save the World ...is a fierce and funny satire on green worriers. 'Agony aunt' letters from concerned citizens of the environment pitch a host of bizarre and deliciously cheeky questions about how they might become more environmentally friendly. Resident eco-warrior 'Dr Green' offers suitably non-PC replies that use real-life examples of eco-daftness. A typical question: 'My partner has IBS and farts a lot. Is he contributing to global warming and how can he reduce his emissions?'

The third book in this bestselling series is another saucy collection of fiercely feminist declarations paired with kitschy vintage advertising images in an easel-backed book that just demands to be displayed. Quite possibly more daring and defiant than its predecessors, pondering the finer points of bitchiness with provocative panache.
In fabulous easel-format, perfect to adorn any self-respecting woman's desk or bedside table - making this a great gift for women with attitude of all ages!

Culled from the author's extensive collection of witticisms and pithy sayings, this hoard of wisdom from writers, philosophers, politicians, actors, and others demonstrates the power of the question 'What if?' to alter the way we think about our world, using these possibilities to bolster an argument or drive home a point. With ifferisms on topics ranging from gender relations to the human condition itself, this informative gem is sure to have readers and linguaphiles dispensing ageless advice and intriguing anecdotes to family and friends. Some classic ifferisms include: If it ain't broke, don't fix it; If anything can go wrong, it will; If life hands you lemons, make lemonade; If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten; and, If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. And, most importantly...'If a book is worth reading, it is worth buying' - John Ruskin.
