Least Appealing Book Cover Ever

Yep, Jimmy Hill's daughter writes ChickLit. It ain't safe no more...

Just why?

Penguin, purveyors of quality literature, selling the autobiography of the woman who invented" the Brazilian waxing

I think quality literature accounts for about 2% of revenue at the moment.

I'll keep an eye out for sample copies if anyone wants to read the chapter on 'revirginising yourself' in full.

We've already gone to that well of riches: Brazilian Sexy

1.0 out of 5 stars an opportunity lost 15 Nov 2012
By Lenny Ectric
Don't buy this book if you are a fan of the big hairy cornflake - or 'big hairy corn FAKE' as I now call him - because it will shatter your illusions and break your tiny heart.

As a lifelong fan myself, I spent THREE of my hard(ish) earned pounds on this wretched travesty, and was appalled to find it was just a book of crappy photos, with no modern feminist theory WHATSOEVER.

I can't believe my once favourite polemic-purveying pubehead has sold out like this. Where are his legendary tracts about the intrinsic misogyny of the media? Where are those rousing diatribes against the abuses of perceived power he witnessed at Radio 1 in the 70s? Where is my hairy hero? WHERE?

It's almost as if this once modest intellectual giant has completely abandoned his one-man war on mediocrity; chauvinism; exploitation of the impressionable; vanity; humourlessness; going grey naturally and sexual assualt, in favour of vapidity and crummy pap snaps.

What next? Will Davidson quit his column in The Socialist Worker? Will Starr turn to drink and try to disguise his bloated carcass with vertically-lined shirts? Will Davro begin doing corporate gigs for THE MAN?

Oh, life. How many ways can you break my heart?

More for the quotes than the cover design.

Also the fact it was written by Felix Dennis.

"His poetry sings like a summer breeze, makes me feel fine, flowin' through the jasmine of my mind."

for 'work-related' reasons (honest guv) i had to attend an evening of the great man reading aloud his dire doggeral (most of it on tree-related themes.) he gets ppl to attend these events by dishing out unlimited quantities of decentish plonk, so our table was pretty pished by the end of the evening, but we were all under strict instructions NOT TO LAUGH in inappropriate places, so I spent the whole time biting my knuckles and avoiding eye contact w/ the others - just excrutiating.

Is there a thread for rip-off self published amazon books? The same author also has this which appears to be literally nothing but the titles of tv shows listed in alphabetical order
