Amusing laws in the United States

This book has a collection of laws from all over the states. Many of them seem ridiculous or absurd but can still be used as a teaching tool to look at what was going on in that society for the laws to be made in the first place. The book is a good study in development of society.

Law-makers: Lighten Up!

Not a law book, not a reference...Just a reminder that when it comes to making the rules, it's easy to get carried away!With election season upon us, it's good to be reminded that it's possible to look pretty silly when you try to regulate everybody's behavior all the time.This is a book just for fun, filled with humorous illustrations.Send a copy to your favorite politician!
