Customer Reviews

Another Great Book

Lots of material here. I loved this book and it makes me wish I had taken more sign pictures while I was overseas. Definitely good for a laugh!

Great gifts!

Lonely Planet Signspotting 2 : The World's Most Absurd Signs (Lonely Planet Signspotting) A gift for the person who has everything. Both of the sign spotting books by this author are fun, amusing and inclined to have readers looking for their own funny signs as they travel. These books are good for passing around or even "regifting" (if you are willing to give them up).

Lonely Planet Signspotting

Both of the Signspotting books are bust out loud funny. The second one if anything is even more histerical than the first one. These are must haves.

Best Book in History? Possibly.

It is my completely unbiased opinion that this book is hilarious and that everyone should own it. For the record, this is completely unrelated to the fact that a picture I took occupies pages 22 AND 23 of this book. (Take that, all you single-pagers!) Completely unrelated. Thank you and good day.

Laugh-out-loud

I picked this book up on a whim after reading a few pages, and it was well worth buying. It's a collection of laugh-out-loud funny signs from around the world. Each sign is accompanied by a humorous remark. Some are poor translations, others are funny taken out of context, and others are just ironic or ridiculous. I found it so amusing, I bought the first in the series, and took them with me while visiting family for Thanskgiving. Leaving them on the coffee table, folks of all ages (teens, parents of young kids and grandparents) picked them up over the course of several days, reading them to one another and laughing out loud. I like "Signspotting 2" slightly better than the first, "Signspotting" only because the photos are better quality/resolution, but both are great reads.
