about this book

If you liked the first Show Me How, you’ll love More Show Me How, the wacky, outrageous sequel packed with hands-on tutorials that will prove indispensable in any number of situations—from the bedroom to the kitchen to the bottom of the sea. In a series of nearly wordless, highly informative step-by-step activities, readers learn how to do hundreds of useful (and cool and beautiful and just plain weird) tasks, such as how to put a ship into a bottle, crash a wedding, compost in a backyard, survive an avalanche, bake bread in a clay-pot oven, land a snowboard jump, and much, much more. Presented in a bold visual style that draws on the best of information technology and graphic-novel communication, this is an innovative reference book to enjoy both as a work of art and as a quirky, innovative gift. Published by Harper Design, an imprint of Harper Collins Publishers.

"This book is a gold mine. It's jam-packed with useful information—I can now ride a mechanical bull, make out in an elevator with my imaginary boyfriend, and build a tattoo gun. If I could only pack two books to take with me on a deserted island, this one would be at the top of the list."—Amy Sedaris, comedian, actress, and author of Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People!
