Show Me How: 500 Things You Should Know - I… by Lauren Smith
Very entertaining. Not sure how I will come across some of those situations, but hey. Knowledge is power.
Great graphics but there is not enough detail included for it to be genuinely instructive. More for fun and eye candy. Good to have around though as an interesting coffee table book or to show kids to inspire them to learn a few useful skills, but would tell them to look up a how-to video online for further reference.
This book is hilarious. The pictures are great and very helpful. I have no idea why you would need to know some of this stuff but I feel smarter after reading it. My only problem with it is that they don't go into enough detail in their instructions. I tried to make my own tortilla chips from their directions and they came out completely black and the ones that didn't weren't crispy at all. They should definately go into more detail.
