Nothing can top "The Idiots Guide to Being Psychic."

Yeah, I'm sure this is on many psychics "highly suggested reading list" for the many BS astrological websites!

I imagine "The Idiot's Guide to Being an Idiot" would sell poorly; most people I know have already mastered the skill.

If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.

They sell great. They're known as public school textbooks. :wink:

My mistake, Toad. You are certainly correct.

IMO: idiots and dummies books seem overpriced for the knowledge they present. Of course, no one is ever to take things literally - dummy, idiot, or even jackass never sat well with me. This may appear as a statement of conceit as I've never published a book or paper.

I'm waiting for someone to file a lawsuit over one of these books claiming they were insulted and the authors were comitting 'hate-speech' over their 'learning disability'.

These books are like the Wikipedia of hardcopy information.

I like them.
