Thelwell really understood the English countryside, its animals and people, and appraised with sympathetic eye both horses and the horsey. That is why his drawings adorn the studies of some of the fiercest Master of Fox Hounds in the country as well a being sure pin-up material in many Pony Club Members' dens. The angels in Angels on Horseback are children but there is plenty here about their parents. Both for readers of Punch who knew Thelwell, and those who did not meet him before, this book is a savoury at all time but especially after attending a gymkhana. J. B. Boothroyd writes in the Foreword: 'Punch has had equestrian artists before. In mid-Victorian times it was difficult to open a copy without being trampled. But the creations between the present covers achieve something entirely new: they combine portraiture with caricature, a thing which most artists would hesitate to try with human beings, let alone the more temperamentally elusive and psychologically inscrutable horse. This means that while no horse could possibly look exactly like a Thelwell horse, all Thelwell horses manage to look exactly like horses.'

We live in duplicitious times, and nothing is more duplicitous than the rhetoric of the Republican Party. Simply put, what Republicans say is not what they mean, and you need a dictionary to comprehend what they mean. Thus was created The Real Republican Dictionary, a work that offers understanding and clarity of "Republican English."

Featuring almost two hundred definitions, numerous illustrations, as well as a revised Bill of Rights, altered to more accurately reflect the current political climate, it is our hope that this dictionary will establish an alternate reality to Republican rhetoric, a reality that those in the reality-based community like to call "the truth."

Some examples:
Activist Judges--Judges who refuse to adhere to a strict interpretation of the Ten Commandments.
Axis of Evil--Liberals, Homosexuals and the French.
GOP--God's Only Party.
Iran--Next.
NPR--Not Pro Republican.
Peace--The short interval between wars.

"You already know right-wingers are mean. Now find out what they mean."--Ted Rall

"When I have to figure if what I mean is what I say, I consult The Real Republican Dictionary."--George W. Bush

Verlang jy ook soms, soos ou Suidwesters, na vervloe dae se kerkbasaars, geselsies maak met sout-van-die-aarde-karakters of night caps in die Nord Hotel se kroeg? Dink jy ook met heimwee terug aan karavaanvakansies, Etosha se kilometers bos- en vlaktewereld en ure se gesels om die braaivleisvuur? Met Verdriet se moses neem Helm Jooste sy lesers op ? nostalgiese reis na daardie Suidwes: ’n Plek waar vrinne mekaar help om verdriet af te skud, waar elke kuier eers met 'n laaste kleine Kleine afgerond moet word, en jeugdige joligheid ’n mens jare later nog kan laat skater. Lees hoe ’n misleidende ontmoeting met ’n loskop net die regte medisyne vir ’n ontspoorde wewenaar geword het, hoe ’n weerbarstige motortoeter byna tot moord gelei het en hoe vier gestrande manne maak as ’n hotel ontydig tjokkenblok vol is. Verdriet se moses volg op Helm Jooste se eerste twee boeke: Daar doer in Duitswes (1989) en Dinge daar doer (1992), waarmee hy verwelkom is as “bobaasverteller oor die ou dae in Namibie”. Verskeie humoristiese vertellinge van Helm Jooste word in hierdie boekie saamgevat. Meeste van die vertellinge handel oor die ou Suidwes.

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.
