Description
Juvenile, profane, and timeless, Fuck This Book collects images of real public signs that have been mischievously altered by stickers bearing the most expressive of all four-letter words. Addictively hilarious, the results show a world persuasively transformed. Please Don't Fuck the Pigeons, indeed. What happens if one triggers the Automatic Sprinkler Fuck Off Valve? And is it any wonder The Fuck Depot is so popular? All photographs are unretouched'the result of countless hours on the hunt show more for the almost perfect sign, in need of just the slightest improvement. This is not social commentary. There is no message. It's not meant to offend, exploit, or embarrass anyone. All real stickers. All real signs. All in fun.. show less

Pretty funny book if you enjoy bawdy and random humor. You won't look at signs the same way again. But, it's also more than just humor. I love the subversiveness of changing signs' meanings this way, playing with the intended message. It's a form of street art, in my opinion.
FYI: The book's concept can be the basis for a rather amusing roadtrip game.

My 19 year old son got this for Christmas. He and his elder brother and his father all found it to be the most hilarious book ever. I thought it was amusing in a hipstery postmodern kind of way, but such a one-trick pony (yes, I know that's part of the joke). I kept wondering what Banksy would do. Certainly not this, or at least not more than once.
Synopsis: A coffee-table sized book on signs around the world where one word has been replaced with the word 'fuck'.
My Opinion: A light and amusing read. Read it in about 10 minutes.

It's funny how one little word can change the meaning of so many things.
Hilarious.
