More Show Me How: Everything We Couldn’t Fit in the First Book – Instructions for Life from the Everyday to the Exotic – The Hilarious and Indispensable Manual for Bizarre Living

by Derek Fagerstrom, Lauren Smith

A new collection of fun, practical, and outrageous projects from the genius minds of the original Show Me How.

Volume two of the Show Me How series contains brand-new instructions that show readers how to amaze, trick, create, style, and love, among other endeavors. Ideas range from the practical (hang a ceiling fixture; hem a pair of pants) to the outrageous (boobytrap a bathroom; forge an antiquity) to the romantic (ace a school crush; send a saucy cell phone pic.) So go ahead and learn some killer pool moves. Or stage your own impromptu gallery show. Style you hair in a fauxhawk. More Show Me How is the indispensable real-life resource that helps readers live life to the fullest and be the star of the party.

Mais Veja Como se Faz é um livro de instruções para a vida. Tem tudo que se imagina para impressionar (ex.: como exibir uma força espantosa, como virar uma cerveja), confundir (ex.: como entortar uma colher), criar (ex.: como fazer uma flor de papel), ter estilo, amar, instruções para o lar, como cuidar, pra ajudar, pra partir, celebrar, saborear e agitar. São mais de 400 instruções sobre os mais diversos assuntos!

As instruções são totalmente ilustradas e autoexplicativas. Além da explicação passo a passo, trás também uma lista dos materiais necessários para fazer o que se é proposto. Há várias instruções interessantes, algumas despropositais e umas bem malucas! Indiferente de serem úteis ou não, o livro é bastante inspirador e principalmente divertido. É pra ficar sempre a mão para repetidas consultas. 

Vale pelo divertimento.

The sequel to the first Show Me How book packs a little over 400 life lessons guided with visuals.

This volume is as fun as the first. The variety of lessons is as wide, ranging from self improvement to attracting attention. You can learn to fight like a wrestler, take care of your pets, cook an exotic meal and many more. There are lots of things you probably won't even think of doing, like shooting hot home movies - which probably makes this book unsuitable for small kids.

If you want something fun and interesting to read, this is it.

This isn't exactly the most how-to DIY book. It contains instructions on designing a cat-feeding device and carving chainsaw art. However, it is the most entertaining how-to book I've ever read. (Think how to join the mile-high club, how to build a blanket fort).

While it is amusing, it has informative tips as well. It's sections range from style, to tricks to love. There's even one on on home projects that I actually plan on using.

It's a fun read, and I recommend picking it up for a good laugh.

This is a very interesting book! It was on a family member's bookshelf. I found several ideas intriguing, and others scary! It has common sense help and fun things to do, (even for teens). The illustrations are colorful, imaginative, and great help in visualizing the activities. The book is separated into chapters - Amaze, Style, Create, Grow, Nest, Indulge, Help, and Go. The activities range from instructive and helpful to crazy and dangerous. The book states that it is for adults, and even then to be careful and know your limitations.

This easily digestible volume wasn't what I'd expected but I was happily surprised. Instructions for tasks ranging from the every day to the extraordinary to the bizarre are clearly laid out in a series of step-by-step illustrations. Each task is explained with a sense of humor without being condescending. This was by no means something I just couldn't put down, but it was good in light, fluffy chunks. And hey, at least I now know how to make fruit leather.

Humorous, yet educational.

Something for everyone and amusement for all. Got to love the visual data supported by only a few essential words.

Quite possibly one of the best bathroom readers you can treat yourself to.

Fascinating, fun and entertaining. Might just get myself a copy to reread again for future reference.

It even tells you the best way to do it in an elevator. Gold mine, indeed.
