Product Description

Review
Washington Post, December 25, 2005
'Giggle without leaving home with this album of the most ridiculous street signs from around the globe.'

Product Description
As anyone who has spent time on the road knows, you often have to depend on signs...to navigate through a town, locate your hotel, even obey the law a scary thought if you've ever come across any of the publicly posted absurdities that appear in this book. Signs about as easy to understand as a Swahili auctioneer (to a non-Swahili speaker) or as well-planned as the dance steps in a mosh pit with the help of signspotters around the globe, we've assembled a collection of some of the most unintentionally entertaining postings on the planet - we hope they confuse and amuse you!

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly perfect pressie!, 28 Nov 2005
This little book will provide hours of amusement! Signs from around the world which truly are absurd and ridiculous. Those with email will doubtless recognise a couple of these signs, including the classic "Go back towards your behind" airport sign and one of my personal faves being the sign in several different languages including the English translation "This sign is to stop tourists becoming lost"I cannot recommend this book enough - particularly good at Christmas, as this will be passed around all day and will provide a guranteed belly laugh for every person who flicks through it. Buy a copy for yourself and then copies for all your friends and family!
