Spot the Author

by Simon Drew

This is another of Simon Drew's books of uninterrupted nonsense. Some people are infuriated by the puzzle pictures and some people love them. However this last category has yet to be found in the wild, as only a few specimens are known and they are all in captivity. It had been hoped that all the devotees of these books would die out and the species become extinct: however, a mutant strain has appeared and is spreading through the world like a virus. Following on from the enormous success of Spot the Book Title, Simon Drew has turned his attention to authors. Spot the Author is packed full of mind boggling puzzles and nonsensical word games that are guaranteed to to goad your mind in to a series of highly complicated mental gymnastics. AUTHOR: Simon Drew is an unusual combination of artist and wordsmith. He combines these two talents with an inventive and quirky sense of humour in his range of books and invites us to look at the world through the magic of Drewsian spectacles. A new perspective unfolds on the world: the familiar becomes unfamiliar, the known becomes unknown, the serious becomes humorous, reality becomes nonsense. It is a topsy-turvy world of visual and verbal puns that never fail to delight. Simon Drew shakes us out of complacency in the most enjoyable of ways. For those who are not already addicted there is only one thing to suggest - read them all! Colour throughout… (more)
