A fun read that's been sitting on my shelf for years! My copy has some hilarious printing errors though, and an entire chapter is almost missing.

I’m excited that I get to be the first to write a review for this book since I love the podcast. This book has great art that I thoroughly enjoyed. When I read it, it was everything I was expecting. I learned some pretty cool things and of course cocktail party science. If you are an Edumacation fan you’ll love this book as much as I did.
