Gags galour - By: Alexandra J. G. Parker, 28 Oct 2007
Does everything it says on the tin. I was sceptical but the concept works, it feels like surfing the web. every page is brimming with nuggets, so there is plenty to dip back into.
This book on Amazon - oh the irony - By: Sam Butterfield, 24 Oct 2007
Basically a very good idea done very very well about another good idea that's been done, on the most part, really badly.
This brilliantly observed & stupidly funny book delivers the internet a juicy kickin the nuts. Quality.
Click on this pastiche - By: Robin Benson, 11 Oct 2007
This is the time of year when publishers put out their stocking filler illustrative humour books, usually tied to a celebrity name for better sales. Mostly they are poor efforts that end up as stockroom dust-catchersin the early months of the new year. This book I'm happy to say is way above the dross.

David McCandless & crew have really done their homework because this is a visual treat to look at. Websites are generally a mixture of photos, graphics & wordsin different colours & types & if you want to make fun of them you better make sure they look convincing &in this book they are really impressive. The page you are reading right now isin the book as amasszone.com, the right types, colours & layout for the book: `Notes from the Superhighway' by Bill Bison. The Guardian ends up as PreserverLimited & looking of course just like the papers site. For the ladies check out justByou.co.uk, YouTube fans click into YouFlue & everyones favourite search engine Bahoogle gets a brilliant five pages.

So it all looks like the real thing, how does it read? As classy as it looks. The word mavens have avoided the easy lads mag route (which I always thought was one of the big let downsin most illustrative humour books) & delivered some quality satirical writing.

So the thing to do is scroll up this page & click on Add to Shopping Basket & shortly you'll get some fun stuff courtesy of a few cut down trees.

Bloody, bloody funny... - By: James F. Robinson, 03 Oct 2007
Read this & find it difficult to take any website seriously again. Let's face it, the web had it coming, the smug git, & this book gives him a hard, yet playful slapin the face. Buy it, & give social networking a rest - nobody likes you anyway.
Funny funny funny... - By: RC, 24 Sep 2007
This is a laugh out loud, gaffaw a plenty style book. Absolutely hilarious - there are millions of jokes on every page. Some are so obvious you can't help but think there cannot be anymorein the book, but actually it is the one liners that really made me laugh. The detail is incredible.
The book is a spoof of the internet pages we have grown to love, loathe, hate or just become ambivalent too. Google, Apple & Amazon will suddenly never be the same after reading this book. A must for anyone that likes a good joke, or thousands.
