Format:Paperback
This is a book that is obviously wrote by a man whoes life has been heavily influenced by geeks and the culture that surrounds them. The format of the book is unusual but not unpleasant and each section is nicely organised and interesting. The only bad thing about the book is trying to work out which of the many included facts are true, and which are satirical.

If you like geeky stuff and if you like laughing this is a must read. With not a single page that you could rate as below awesome, this book is clever fun all the way.

Bravo, Brian

Format:Paperback
The BBook of Geek is a worthy print companion to BBspot, Brian's geek - satire web site.
It was funny and easy to read without being dumbed down. The 128 illustarations are giggleworthy everytime I open the book.

Humorist for Today's Geek
22 Dec 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Brian Briggs has long been a talented, innovative writer for the Internet age. This book compiles many of his best "web-icles" in one breezy book. If you remember the "Books of Top Ten Lists" from David Letterman and his writers, this is similar, only it's tailored to those who work and live in the current Internet, online-gaming, and general Geek culture, including everything from computer gurus to academic mathematicians. Grab this book. It's a load of fun that you can read any time, and in any order.
