This book is hilarious!!! I challenge anybody to read it without cracking a smile. It's one book that will get you ROTFL.

And this book is not about making fun of foreigners, for a fair share of these signs are spotted in English-speaking countries. Guess where you'll find the sign "All International Passengers Carrying Luggages Including Canada..."?

Too good a book not to share. It's summertime now, and a book like this is destined to travel. I am offering this as an international bookray, with the ambitious goal to make it to top 100 most traveled books. It's a small book, easy to read and cheap to ship.

The usual bookray rules apply.

This is the list as of 8/28/06. There may be slight change in order, though I try my best not to keep pushing back the readers at the end of the list.

2. rebeccaljames, Ohio, USA (skipped)
3. prollact, PA, USA
4. kimsbooks03, PA, USA
5. tish2002, Missouri, USA
6. yvensong, Nevada, USA
7. cherylIlr, Nevada, USA

9. legomeister, CA, USA
10. Sissyrun, CA, USA
11. well-chilled, Alaska, USA (skipped)
12. Jaenelle, Kansas, USA (skipped)
13. hobbit, NY, USA <--- it's here

15. eicuthbertson, BC, Canada
16. sarahbear, Tasmania, Australia

Hilarious! I laughed until I cried the first time I went through this book, then my daughter and I laughed through it the second time. If laughter is good medicine, this book ought to cure what ails me!

I have PMed rebeccaljames twice but had no reply. I'll do an ISO in the forum in hopes of finding her so I can move the book along.

Update 9-9-06: I heard from rebeccaljames, who asked to be skipped. Now I am in search of prollact, who doesn't even seem to be in the member database. I posted an ISO in the Bookring forum and hope to hear something soon.

Update 9-19-06: Mailed to prollacct (had the name spelled wrong originally--that's why I couldn't find) today via media mail.

This book is so funny! I started reading and couldn't put it down. My husband, who does not like to read, picked it up and read it too. My son is looking through it now. I received yvensong's address already and will be mailing it on my next trip to the PO. Thanks for sharing this great book, azuki.

What a funny book! I read it on Saturday and shared with a friend later that evening. She and I were in hysterics in the restaurant we shared dinner in.

Thanks for sharing!

I will pass to Cherylllr when I see her in about 2 weeks, maybe sooner.

so sorry - one certain member of the family had it in his room, and it was only discovered now! But hey, at least four people did laugh out loud over the time that it was here. btw, when I was going to college I passed the "Taxidermy and Cheese" trailer twice a week every week.... :)
And now to be enjoyed by more....

Received by SCOUT-FINCH - and I can't wait to share it with legomeister when he gets home from school - we love stuff like this!! It's our goal to find something worthy of posting on engrish.com...this book will tide us over for a while until we go somewhere else with lots of tourists (and their very funny t-shirts)

Received today and I'm already reading it. What great signs!! I will make sure I have a camera with me to snap my own absurd and amusing signs.
Click on the picture and read the fine print...

Laugh Out Loud...Very funny book. Read it in about 15 minutes.
One of my favorites is the sign that has bullet holes and states "Dangerous Intersection Ahead"

*** 9/01 well-chilled asked to be skipped. PM'd Jaenelle for address***
***5 mins later... jaenelle has asked to be skipped.

Hopefully our little lost book will resurface again some day and continue to spread laughters all over the world!
