WNW: I Want This Book
If you're a true word nerd and already know grammar and punctuation rules, you'll get a huge kick out this book (which I'm dying to buy):
This "Absolutely Phony Guide" is by the folks behind one of my favorite Twitter streams: FakeAPStylebook. If you're on Twitter, follow them. Now. They're brilliantly funny.
The book is filled with fake "rules" and suggestions. One example: "Weapons and the Military: Shoot first, then ask questions about shooting."
Not so sure about the rules? No problem; just go in with the knowledge that chances are, everything you read is bogus (even if you aren't getting the joke).
Note that the misspellings and typos are totally on purpose. This is my kind of humor book!
Read more about it in The New Yorker . And then buy it HERE from Amazon.
