Author: Jane Seabrook

Jane Seabrook's sly humour and achingly cute watercolours of animals have snuggled their way into the hearts of thousands of people around the world. Now all her most memorable offerings are all here in one easel-book, perfect to warm up any office desk, kitchen counter or bedside table. Equisitely detailed depictions of birds, bears, penguins and other creatures caught up in the joy and drudgery of life are paired with short proverbs to put a new spin on modern times, or spikey witticisms such as 'It's been lovely, but I have to scream now.' This is the same quirky format as the bestselling "Bitch" books from Ten Speed - "You Say I'm a Bitch Like It's a Bad Thing" (1580086373) and "That's Queen Bitch to You" (1580087485) - sold over 200,000 copies collectively worldwide.

Blokes, Jokes and Sheds : New Zealand's funniest shed cartoons

order quantity

NZ$ 25.00 each

Paperback

Author: Chris Slane

Published by: Random House New Zealand Ltd

In Stock: 0

The shed is a place where men can find sanctuary from the demands of everyday life, and is one of the last remaining untouched bastions of maleness. With Blokes, Jokes & Sheds, Chris Slane takes an affectionate and humorous look at this enduring icon of blokedom. Featuring sheds and their owner-occupiers, Blokes, Jokes & Sheds goes some way to uncovering the mysteries of what sheds mean to men. There are sheds for tinkering, sheds for escape, sheds as a second home, sheds for socialising, and inventive sheds. There is a shed for every man and every shed is a castle. The book is loosely based on the topics of Shed Sweet Home, Favourite Projects, Shed Widows, DIY Disasters and Tool Talk. Interspersed among the cartoons are Shed Factoids, What Type of Sheddie Are You? and a DIY-agony column.

First published August 2009.

When I Were A Lad...

Hardback

Author: Andrew Davies

Published by: Conway Maritime

Ah, the past. A time when children could play in the snow without a helmet, crampons and a risk assessment report. When footballs were made from rhino hide and cricket was played with one pad, if you were lucky. When I Were a Lad...looks at the glorious-yet-risky childhoods of yesteryear before the Health and Safety officers told us we couldn't do everything because it was too dangerous. It reflects on a time when children were allowed in with the animals at London Zoo; a time before the car seatbelt was invented (let alone used); a time when you were allowed to dress up endangered species in goalkeeping kit and take penalties against them. The authors have trawled through the major historic archives to find some glorious photo opportunities where the safety angle of the participants was the last thing anyone thought of. Children perch happily on lethal, limb-mangling machinery, stand all-smiles on live crocodiles, feed brown bears ... more

Get Her Off the Pitch! How sport took over my life

order quantity

NZ$ 30.00 each

Paperback

Author: Lynne Truss

Published by: Harper Collins

In Stock: 1

From the bestselling author of 'Eats, Shoots & Leaves', this is the hilarious new book from Lynne Truss about her strange journey through the world of sport and sports journalism. 'Years ago, Boris Becker famously said, after losing at Wimbledon, "Nobody died. I just lost a tennis match." And while some people applauded him for his healthy sense of proportion, it didn't ring remotely true. While I was writing about sport, I was caught on the horns of this dilemma for the whole bloody time. I was like the poor confused jurors in 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' who sit in their jury box, writing emphatically on their little slates, both "important" and "not important" because they honestly don't have a clue.' In this magnificent book, Lynne Truss charts her often bizarre wanderings during her time as a sports journalist for the 'Sunday Times'.
From covering a heavyweight world title fight at Madison Square Garden, to watching ... more
