R255 Discovery Miles 2 550 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Eats, Cheats and Leaves (How to deal with your philandering cad) is a humorous, self-help book in light verse. Beautifully illustrated by the cartoonist Gemma Hastilow (of Horrible Science fame), each verse takes us through the traumas of the woman betrayed, and how to deal with that philandering man. Starting with the caveat that: It isn't just men who're unfaithful, Some women are equally bad, But this booklet is written For women once bitten By the classic philandering cad. It therefore makes no apology for addressing women, who are told how to spot the philanderer, and then, for the unfortunate majority who don't spot him in time, how to deal with him and the chaos he causes. The verse takes us through 5 clearly marked parts, from discovery, through grief, anger and action-plan to recovery, and each part addresses the reader directly. This is a book for all women who have ever been betrayed, and for all women who are likely to be betrayed (so pretty much every woman). It is fast-paced, optimistic and a bit of a lark. As Caroline Sanderson from The Bookseller says: 'This witty and wise consolation in verse should be made available on prescription for every wronged woman. It dispenses oodles of sisterly succour, and lashings of healing humour.'

Here is a collection of short stories and doggerel, told by a man who, due to retirement, has too much time on his hands. There are simple tales of simple tasks, carried out by someone against whom everything and everyone seems to conspire, and for whom nothing is as good as it used to be. Nothing is straightforward and very little goes right. Whether it's riding on a toboggan with his granddaughter or taking his cat to the vets, the results are invariably the same - disaster.

If You Won’t Say It, I Will is a sharp and fearless collection of satirical essays that slices through modern hypocrisy, political absurdity and everyday nonsense with wit and precision. From the self-righteous world of social media to the strange new rules of dating, politics and cancel culture, Gavin Tucker says what everyone is thinking but few are willing to say.

Written with honesty, humour and a keen eye for the ridiculous, this book holds up a mirror to the times we live in and dares readers to laugh at the things that usually make them uncomfortable. Whether he is dismantling influencer culture, examining identity politics or poking fun at society’s ever-growing list of unacceptable opinions, Tucker never misses his mark. If You Won’t Say It, I Will is funny, thoughtprovoking and impossible to read without wanting to share a line or two aloud.

Topical, fearless and entertaining from start to finish, this is a book for readers who enjoy smart social commentary and humour that hits close to home. It is the perfect conversation starter, and just as often, the perfect way to end one.

The first book in twenty-five years from “one of our great comic minds” (The Washington Post) features Seinfeld’s best work across five decades in comedy.

Since his first performance at the legendary New York nightclub “Catch a Rising Star” as a twenty-one-year-old college student in fall of 1975, Jerry Seinfeld has written his own material and saved everything. “Whenever I came up with a funny bit, whether it happened on a stage, in a conversation, or working it out on my preferred canvas, the big yellow legal pad, I kept it in one of those old school accordion folders,” Seinfeld writes. “So I have everything I thought was worth saving from forty-five years of hacking away at this for all I was worth.”

For this book, Jerry Seinfeld has selected his favorite material, organized decade by decade. In this “trove of laugh-out-loud one-liners” (Associated Press), you will witness the evolution of one of the great comedians of our time and gain new insights into the thrilling but unforgiving art of writing stand-up comedy.
