SOME UNSOLICITED RECOMMENDATIONS: "Reading Martin Baxendale's
Better Sex Guide has improved my sexual performance 100%. Thank
you, Martin!" (Tome Kruize, international film star). "Since
reading this wonderful book, we've been at it like rabbits ten or
twelve times a day and had to have the bed reinforced to take the
strain." (Fred and Bertha, Sunnyside Retirement Home). "This
excellent Better Sex Guide almost made me feel like giving it a
go!" (The Pope). (PUBLISHER'S NOTE: We suspect it's just possible
that Mr Baxendale might have made some of these up).
This spoof is one of a range of cartoon books on babies and
marriage.
The latest in Martin Baxendale's popular series of cartoon
gift-books takes a fun look at the ups and downs of relationships.
Based (very loosely!) on the author's own experiences, it offers
hilarious advice on how to avoid the pitfalls and make
relationships better. An ideal fun gift-book for birthdays,
engagements, weddings, Christmas etc, this follows Martin's recent
success with "The Hangover Survival Guide", which proved a very
popular Christmas gift-book.
Worrying reports are flooding in from concerned park keepers around
the World. It appears that the squirrels, who for so long have had
to put up with being chased up trees and harassed by dogs out on
their daily walkies, have finally decided to take revenge on their
canine tormentors. It seems no dog, whether on its lead or off, is
safe from the cunning plans, sneaky ruses, ingenious inventions and
diabolical machinations of these fluffy-tailed little hitmen. After
reading this, will you dare to take your dog to the park again?
This is the first in a planned series of "The Squirrel Murders"
cartoon humour books by Martin Baxendale, in the same vein as the
very successful "Bunny Suicide" books, with the squirrels finding
ever more ingenious and funny ways to dispatch the dogs that have
tormented them for so very, very long.
Suiatble as a Christmas gift for women and men alike, this title
presents a wickedly funny cartoon-illustrated look at what really
makes men and women so different and what really causes so many
problems in male-female relationships.
"The Snowdrop Garden" is Martin Baxendale's first novel, a romantic
comedy set in the enchanting, eccentric and increasingly
fashionable world of snowdrop growers and collectors where (much
like the crazy days of the Tulip Fever in 17th century Holland)
enthusiasts will pay mad money at auction (up to GBP 200- GBP 300)
for a single bulb of the latest and most desirable varieties to add
to the hundreds of different snowdrops already in their
collections. Some call it the White Fever; that time in
January-February every year when keen snowdrop growers visit each
other's gardens to compare collections, gather at special Snowdrop
Lunches and Galas to admire new forms and varieties and spend silly
amounts to outbid each other for the latest white-flowered
novelties.One of England's biggest and most beautiful woodland
snowdrop gardens faces the builder's bulldozers as elderly Lady
Cherington is forced to sell up to settle her massive debts. Can
young Ben, another keen snowdrop collector, help save Lady C's
family home, garden and unique collection? Does his feisty new
Slovak environmental-warrior wife, Katka, with her Eastern European
connections, hold the answer to all their problems? Or is it her
fault there are Bulgarian gangsters with big guns in the shrubbery,
trampling on Lady C's favourite snowdrops? Why are there Russians
with even bigger guns in the front drive? Why do they all want Lady
C's smelly old husband, The Colonel? Will Katka's twins be born in
hospital or an armoured personnel carrier amongst the snowdrops on
Lady C's lawn, and where did Katka learn to drive an armoured car
anyway?
This is the latest in Martin Baxendale's popular series of
cartoon-illustrated gift-books that takes a humorous look at the
growing problem of stress. With his usual off-the-wall sense of
humour, Martin offers (often pretty wacky) advice based on his own
experience of coping with and surviving the stress that
increasingly plagues all our daily lives, at work and at home. This
is the ideal gift for anyone who gets a bit stressed from time to
time - so that would be all of us then.
This is the first in a brand new series of humorous children's
books by popular humour writer and cartoonist Martin Baxendale,
whose spoof 'owner's manual' and 'survival guide' cartoon
gift-books for adults sell close to 100,000 copies a year in the UK
and have been published in more than 20 languages. Best-known of
all is Martin's title "Your New Baby - An Owner's Manual", which
has sold over 400,000 copies in the UK and more than a million
copies worldwide.Well illustrated with scores of giggle-making
cartoon illustrations, "When Will My Baby Brain Fall Out?" is an
hilarious tale of childhood misunderstandings. 7-year-old Millie
gets hold of the idea that her problems with schoolwork are down to
her tiny baby brain, which will soon fall out like a baby tooth, to
let her big-girl brain grow in its place. Convinced that this will
make her much cleverer, Millie is determined to loosen up her baby
brain so the Brain Fairy can come and get it from under her pillow
as soon as possible (and leave a suitably large cash reward in its
place of course).
Based on Martin Baxendale's best-selling Your New Baby - Owner's
Manual, this book features a new baby character in the first two of
a series of strip-cartoon books about the trials and tribulations
of having a new baby in the house.
This is the perfect fun gift for any Facebook user, and especially
for those who, like the author, tend to spend a little more time on
it than they really should. Anyone who has used Facebook will know
just how addictive it can be. Martin Baxendale's hilarious look at
this problem, and his whacky advice on how to cope with it, will
put a smile on the face of anyone who has ever found themselves
torn between clicking Facebook login yet again or getting on with
all that other stuff piling up out here in the real world.
According to the latest statistics, Facebook now has over 24
million active users in the UK.
