Product Description:

Show Me How is a revolutionary reimagining of the reference genre, one part how-to guide, one part graphic art showpiece, and one part pure inspiration. In a series of 500 nearly wordless, highly informative step-by-step procedurals, readers learn how to do hundreds of useful (and fascinating and important and sometimes downright bizarre) tasks, including: Perform CPR, dance the tango, pack a suitcase, win a bar bet, play the blues, make authentic sushi rolls, fight a shark . . . and 493 more essentials of modern life. Packed with useful hands-on reference material, Show Me How is a work of art that just happens to also be an indispensable real-life resource.

- A Fun, Instructive Guide for Learning and Relearning
This is a great, colorful book, especially for the visually inclined for learning something new. Personally, I'd always been meaning to figure out how to find my way about via the stars or learn to read a compass, but had never gotten around it, and was pleased to find both covered in the Surviving section of the book.

Only a couple gripes - despite the icon index in the back, some of the picture icons that indicate what is needed (for example, a needle and thread to hem pants) can ... Read More

- More Exotic han Everyday
This is the ultimate instruction manual. It shows you how to do 500 things ranging from " the everyday to the exotic." Some things are quite useful. It teaches you how to do a breast self-exam and how to remove old wallpaper. Other things are interesting but not very useful. For example, the book teaches how to fire roast a tarantula, escape from a straightjacket, and guzzle from a beer hat. This is an ambitious undertaking and I applaud the authors. I thought the book would be more practical than ... Read More

- Very Entertaining but Only Moderately Useful
As I am a person that prides himself on knowledge of many unusual things and processes, I was extremely intrigued with the opportunity to read and review this book. It is a well constructed book, with a hard cover look but a soft cover feel. The 320 pages are filled with some moderately useful and a lot of completely useless information; all of which are laid out in a plethora of colorful illustrations. As it is a fairly large book (roughly 9" x 9" x 1"), it makes for a great coffee table book. ... Read More

- Half the book is a joke the other half is nice to know but not need
The book is organized into 11 sections some sections have very helpful information others do not. The sections are make, eat, drink, style, love, nest, grow, thrive, go, survive, and wow.
The make section I think has the most exotic item. Number 25 shows you how to create a chain-mail bikini. Something that everyone needs to know - I DON'T THINK SO. The eat section is pretty good. It tells you things like how to cut a pineapple or pit an avocado. The drink section is also very helpful ... Read More

Rating:

- Quantity Exceeds Quality
This is a very well-produced book: lots of colorful illustrations, good quality paper, index, etc... But in terms of content, the book barely qualifies for bathroom reading for three reasons:
1. Lots of useless information. For instance, item 473 shows pictures how to perform a keg stand.
2. No depth - each item is given only cursory treatment, so you cannot really learn most items that require skill.
3. Low quality. For instance, items 376-377 show Men's and Ladie's room labels ... Read More
