  • "From the winner of the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for Commentary comes a new collection of Dave Barry's greatest hits. From coed softball to airline flights, no subject is sacred!"@en
  • "WHEN DAVE BARRY IS ON THE LOOSE, NO ONE IS SAFE! What Dave Barry did for the men's movement in his Complete Guide to Guys and for foreign relations when he did Japan he now does for . . . everything in America. The rapacious observer of Tupperware ladies and leisure concept salesmen sounds off on: Football--Football is more than just a game. It is a potential opportunity to see a live person lying on the ground with a bone sticking out of his leg, while the fans, to show their appreciation, perform "the wave." Sailing--There's nothing quite like getting out on the open sea, where you can forget about the hassles and worries of life on land, and concentrate on the hassles and worries of life on the sea, such as death by squid. Gambling--Off-Track Betting parlors are the kinds of places where you never see signs that say, "Thank You for Not Smoking." The best you can hope for is, "Thank You for Not Spitting Pieces of Your Cigar on My Neck." "The good news: he's funny as ever. The bad news: the book is only 304 pages." --Los Angeles Daily News From the Paperback edition."@en
  • "Fresh from his triumph at the Tupperware Convention, Dave Barry brings his wit to bear on the everyday experiences of life. Like nasal spray and homemade beer and how not to look like a pervert when hanging around a public toilet waiting for your 4-year-old son to re-emerge. And, of course, what to do when attacked by a giant squid and other aspects of safe boating practices."@en
