A lovely little dip in book - By: A. I. McCulloch, 24 Aug 2008 
I bought this as a jokey gift for someone who had given me one of the "Is It Just Me" books. I sneaked a read before passing it on (hands up anyone who doesn't do this) & was charmed.
It's a lovely little A-Z of things that make life a little bit better. You won't agree with all the selections, but it's an eclectic mix. Steve Stack has his finger on the pulse - Monkey, the BBC's Beijing Olympics hero is one of the selections. So are Internet communities which is heartening news for those of us who enjoy justifying our participationin them.
A smashing gift for anyone who is cynical & apt to offer a jaded view of things. This won't make you laugh out loud, but it will make you smile.
Its only what you already know - By: Gilly-Flower, 10 Aug 2008 
I'd read the reviews & thought this was going to be a real treat. I looked forward to the delivery, unfortunately, I was not expecting to read all about the joys of (and the book isin A-Z format)
Aardvaarks; allotments, advent calendars, etc, etc, right through to Zebedee the chap who went fishing with Jesus.
Of course, its not all a load of rubbish, I too, like the author, like a nap or a nice cup of tea, but would not write a book extolling their virtues(silly me!).
Life is great & sometimes you do need reminding of that, its true, but somehow this book made me feel a bit stupid just for buying it, as if I needed a book to remind me that joy can be cultivatedin your own mind.
Buy it only if you cannot think of one thing that makes you smile.
The antidote to a cynical world - By: Alan Pearce, 08 Nov 2007 
I brought it as a gift for a cynical friend & ended up reading it myself. I've now had to buy another copy!
A book guaranteed to make you smile - By: Lily Loulou, 04 Nov 2007 I've been randomly dipping into this book over the past few days & on every reading it has brought a smile to my face. Steve Stack's collection is full of all the simple, & often silly, thingsin life that can't fail to make you happy. The perfect antidote for the terminally miserable. Highly recommended reading for anyone who's had a bad day.
the perfect toilet book - By: do re me, 04 Nov 2007 This book has proved the perfect medicine for my grumpy mood this week. It manages to delight & inspire without ever resorting to sentimentality. It deserves to become a bestseller. I have been chuckling away while flicking through its pages. It will have pride of placein my toilet library.
