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.
