Product Description

Product Description
In 2003, extreme ironing is the world's newest adrenalin sport, combining the thrill of extreme outdoor activity - rock climbing, mountaineering, canoeing, scuba diving or surfing - with the satisfaction of well-pressed clothing. Participants of the sport are known as ironists and pride themselves on returning to work on Monday morning in a shirt which was ironed at the weekend whilst dangling from a rock face or riding the rapids. From its humble beginnings in the English East Midlands city of Leicester in 1997, the sport has gone global, with the first Extreme Ironing World Championships being held in Munich 2002. Since then even more people have taken ironing outside, under the sky, where it belongs. Written by the sport's founding father, this book, illustrated throughout with photographs, is a guide to equipment and clothing; a description of the different styles of extreme ironing; and an overview of worldwide developments.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating!, 25 Oct 2003
By A Customer
This book is amazing. Informative and amazingly interesting, yet also hilarious. Guaranteed to cheer up anyone struggling through the weekend ironing mountain - if you think your ironing is difficult, it's nothing compared to what these guys go through with theirs! Suitable for anyone and everyone, a book full of stunning acheivements and sheer wonder. What drives an extreme ironer to take part in this, we are led to believe, fast growing sport? Would make an excellent Christmas gift for someone tricky to buy for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for teenage boy!, 29 Feb 2004
By A Customer
What do teenage boys read? Very little probably if they're like most! However, they may well read this and enjoy it immensely. There is quite a lot of reading in it and loads of amusing and interesting colour pictures! Great facts and explanations of this unbelievable sport. My boys were tickled pink by the picture of the "judges" of the standard of the ironing, and spent hours perusing the rules and regulations of the sport and the great pictures. A really good buy for an adventurous young fellow who was told to choose a book for the school prizegiving and was unable to find anything of the remotest interest in the local bookshop!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Taking it to the limits and then giving it a good press, 29 Jun 2004
By Peter Shield "editor-naturalchoices.co.uk" (Languedoc- France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
For many years I have dived, canyoned, climbed, caved, ski-ied, white water rafted and bare backed rode white sharks. However despite the short term adrenalin rush their is always that slightly crumbled and creased aftertaste. Something has always been missing in my careless search for the ultimate thrill-but not anymore. A throw away Christmas gag has turned into an obsession- I am now looking to form the Languedocienne extreme ironing cell (English speaking but French, Catalans and Occitans accepted) and join the world brother and sisterhood of extreme ironists. There are many rivers to cross and many shirts to iron, but their ain't no mountain high enough, ain't no valley deep enough to stop this new ironing movement.
