Signspotting 2 is a fun little book filled with amusing signs from around the world. The reader is treated to warnings such as 'Take care, fall into water carefully', 'If you fall into the water you will be boiled', and 'Be aware of invisibility'. Then we have funny place names and fun signs like 'Tattoos for lease' and 'Hazyview eye care', plus so much more.

I loved this book. I didn't really think about funny signs too much until I went for a drive with my husband one day and saw a great new approach for getting people to attend church. The sign on the side of the building read "Having problems sleeping? Come to our sunday morning sermon" or something along those lines. It tickled me something fierce and I paid more attention to signs after that but it's rare to see the really good ones.

Now you don't have to go anywhere to find them. You can discover them all from the comfort of your living room as you explore this little book and all it's gems. I chuckled out loud so much and my husband liked many of the signs too. It's a great way to kill an hour or so and even more fun when read with friends.

This is a book with photographs of interesting and humorous signs from around the world. Most of them are unintentially funny – bad translations into English in foreign countries, for example. (Things like the “Welcome Big Nose Friends” sign in China and the “Bad Toilet” sign in Norway). Then there’s the sign in the middle of the Namibian desert which says, “Sand.” So, some of them were very amusing, and it was a quick book to read through. I received this at my BX meeting, and will offer it up again at the next one. ( )
