Product Description

When it comes to criminals, Darwin wades in the shallow end of the gene pool. Witness the astonishing idiocy of the absent-minded terrorist who opens a letter-bomb returned for insufficient postage, or the thief who steals electrical wire without shutting off the current, or the man who saws off his own leg to collect insurance. This collection of cautionary tales proves that crime does pay ...a genetic dividend!

MINATURE 20 May 2010

By ANONYMOUS

Format:Hardcover

MINATURE book. small enough to fit in your pocket - not what I was expecting. Being so small the 1 story takes up pages and pages so theres not many stories in there

NOT A BOOK - IT'S TINY! 11 July 2007

By Mom of growing kids - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

My son loves the Darwin Awards books, so I ordered this one for his birthday. I was shocked when it arrived because it's only 2.25"x3.25" - not exactly the kind of thing you wrap up for a birthday present. I'm sending it back and getting him a real book!

little book, really little 5 Nov 2007

By martin jackson - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

The price is right, and there are the usual Darwin Award stories but be aware that this is a mini-volume, barely a handful, and I don't think that is made clear enough. I was expecting the normal format, instead got this 4x4 novelty item.

Very Funny, but small 18 Dec 2006

By A. Williams - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

I got this book and the rest because I love the Darwin Award Books. But When I purchased it, I assumed it was a full sized book. It is in fact a very small book with about 180 pages of funny stories. I personally wish it was a regular sized book, but I'll take it as I can get it.
