Oh! You opened the book. I assume that was an accident? No problem, accidents happen. I'm not even angry. Just please don't turn the page! Monster will do anything for you to not open this book, but what will happen if you do? Young readers will love doing everything they are asked not to, and turning the pages to discover Monster's hilarious secret at the end of this funny picture book. Do Not Open This Book is the hilarious, best-selling new book from Australian radio DJ and comedian Andy Lee.

In 2005, at the age of 20, Andy Lee decided he was going to try to make it in the harsh and unforgiving world of professional boxing. Leaving home for the dust and faded glamour of Detroit, over the next ten years, under the guidance of the legendary Manny Steward, he set about honing his craft, winning fight after fight, and slowly ascending the professional ranks. Then, in 2012, his star ascendant, Lee suffered two devastating blows in quick succession: defeat in his first world championship bout and the sudden loss of Steward, his guide and confidant. Bereft, his career in jeopardy, the path to redemption would test every hard-won lesson of the previous decade. 'Not so much a memoir as a lyrical treatise on the great themes: defeat, death, persistence, redemption, and the importance of friendship and family' Sunday Times

Every year since 1976, Project Censored, our nation's oldest news-monitoring group, has produced a Top-25 list of underreported news stories and a book dedicated to the stories that ought to be top features on the nightly news, but that are missing because of media bias and self-censorship.
A perennial favorite of booksellers, teachers, and readers everywhere, "Censored" is one of the strongest lifesigns of our current collective desire to get the news we citizens need-despite what Big Media tells us.
Seven Stories Press has been publishing this yearbook since 1994. The top 25 stories are listed in order of importance and for how neglected these stories were by major media. Top stories in recent years have included "Signs of an Emerging Police State," "Fukishima Nuclear Disaster More Devestating Than Anticipated," "A 'Culture of Cruelty' Along Mexico-US Border," and "Obama's War on Whistleblowers." In additional chapters, scholars and journalists take a critical look at timely issues, such as the US/NATO military-industrial-media empire.

Veterinarian Dane Vincent is used to being unlucky in love. That’s why his crush on new friend Ben is No Big Deal. He’s more than happy to swoop to Ben’s rescue when he brings a ferret into his practice. It’s what friends do—and vets. Ben Clifford came to Lockstone for a new job and a fresh start. He didn’t expect to make friends, never mind a tightknit group of them. They’re all wacky and wonderful, and he fits right in, something he’s never done before. They even support him when he finds a ferret at work and decides to keep the cute little bundle of joy. There’s just one tiny problem. Ben’s house doesn’t allow pets. Moving into Dane’s spare room is meant to be temporary, but the more time he spends with him, the less he wants to leave. They connect on a level he’s never experienced before, and slowly but surely, the feelings of friendship Ben has for Dane morph into something deeper. The question is… does he have the courage to act on them?

Andy was an industrial engineer from Indonesia. He couldn't use his degree when he arrived here in America at age 25, in May 2002. The currency at that time was US $1.00 = INA Rp. 10,000.00. Not wanting to be in debt in the brand new frontier that he wasn't sure about yet, he was determined to work his best with what he had and with what he could do, and worked in fast food restaurants, shoe departments, and martial arts schools. While doing so, he was also an elder and a choir director at a local church, growing a blessed beautiful family, and teaching MMA. The amazing thing is that he had no debt at all, had paid off his mortgage, had built his retirement and prepared for his children's future only during his first 6.5 years of living here. All that was generated by his family income which was mainly from his restaurant job and his wife's retail job. That's quite a remarkable accomplishment that many people don't dare to dream about, especially in this economy. His book will open our eyes to what he believes and how he applies it in his real life to accomplish such a true joy, health, and wealth. Using a lot of fun, unique analogies and examples from movies, sports, and real life scenarios, he really makes it easy for people to connect to what he believes. His positive attitude and outlook toward life are truly infectious. So many people who have known him personally always feel that their spirit is elevated, their adrenaline is pumped, and their potential is boosted. And Andy really hopes that the very same positive effects can be benefited by people everywhere through reading his book. And Andy always wishes that someday he can personally meet everyone who have read his book and congratulate them for their beautiful transformation.
