Simon Drew's sense of humour is an acquired taste - it may be a moot point whether it is worth acquiring, yet thousands of fans around the world have clearly already succumbed to its questionable attractions. These converts will clearly appreciate this new and puzzling collection of nonsensical puzzles.This is a book to exasperate and annoy: the only way to solve the puzzle drawings is either to start with a warped mind or put yourself through gymnastic mental contortions that your mind ends up warped and twisted as a result.The existing Drew devotees should find no problem with this.
To offset these mind blowing puzzles this compilation also includes a selection of Drew's other pointless pictures accompanied by truly agonising verse. Whether this is to mitigate the unfortunate side-effects of the puzzles or whether the puzzles are there to distract you from the verse is not made clear.If you have not as yet dipped into the pages of Simon Drew's books,now is the time to give it a try - you will either hate them or love them. Please contact seller,because of the lighter weight of this item,for correct shipping/P+p quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!
N.B. ALL buyers please note,stocks' actual shipping/P+p costs are adjusted and any difference is refunded,after order's receipt and before the order's despatch,especially if the item(s) are offered either P+p included/FREE.
** N.B. US/Canada customers please be aware: US Standard AIRMAIL postage from UK to these destinations can now cost more than the price of the book! If speed is not of the essence,then Economy rate is recommended - at approx. anything from a 1/3rd to 1/2 of the standard US AIR quote/rate - sometimes arriving sooner than the 42 days - but not always. **
