New Releases by Stefan Rudnicki

Familiarity breeds familiarity, and nowadays the strength of the Anglo-Saxon expletive is sadly diluted. But help is at hand! Don't get mad, as they say; get even. Phone that irritating magazine publisher or e-mail him this piece of your mind: "Boils and plagues plaster you o'er, that you may be abhorr'd farther than seen, and one infect another against the wind a mile." Feel better? Of course you do. Here is one book you can't put down because it's so cathartic. At last, we are empowered. There is a way of fighting back. Sweet vengeance is just around the corner. I swear! - from the Foreword by Roger Rees.
