Stuff Every Husband Should Know ~ By Eric San Juan ~ Quirk Books ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 6/24
I really like this book - needless to say.
It's divided into three sections - Regarding the Wife, Regarding the Home, & Regarding the Family. You'll find such wonderful advice such as - How to Grocery Shop in 30 minutes or less, How to Keep House, & How to side with you Wife, not your Mother.
I've check out books like this before that border on insulting. You know the one - We belong to the exclusive man club, they do not - silly them, so just tell them what they want to hear so you can hit the green with your buddies. This is not one of those. It's sensible, practical advise that would would for either gender.
On the heels of the successful Stuff Every Man Should Know and Stuff Every Woman Should Know comes the volume that both genders will treasure: Stuff Every Husband Should Know. Finally, the priceless, practical wisdom that all wives hope their husbands possess is gathered in one book! New husbands and their long suffering brethren alike will find helpful knowledge of all kinds:
• The Ten Commandments of Laundry
• How to Hire Handymen
• Side with Your Wife, Not Your Mother
• How to Drive in Peace
• Wife Space Comes Before Man Cave
• And much, much more!
This stylish pocket-sized hardcover is the perfect gift for weddings, anniversaries, Father’s Day, or any time of the year.
ERIC SAN JUAN is the editor of a seven-newspaper chain in central New Jersey and the coauthor of A Year of Hitchcock: 52 Weeks with the Master of Suspense. A decade into marriage, he is delighted to find that his wife and son still seem healthy and well fed.

Quirk Books ~Masterpuppet Theatre: Shakespearean Fingerpuppets ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 10/06
The World of Shakespeare at Your Fingertips!
All the world’s a stage-and with this extraordinary book-plus kit, you can dramatize the most memorable scenes in all of theatre. Contents include:
•Sixty fingerpuppet cards featuring Shakespeare’s most famous characters, including Hamlet, Lady Macbeth, King Lear, Othello, Shylock, and Falstaff
•Twelve stand-up sets of castles, forests, balconies, and battle fields
•A 96-page “folio” of classic scenes-from Hamlet’s “To Be or Not to Be” soliloquy to Romeo and Juliet’s classic balcony serenade
Once you’ve finished staging the Bard’s entire canon, you can mix and match masterpuppets to produce your own Shakespearean mash-ups. Perhaps your Romeo will fall in love with Lady Macbeth!
MIKE ROGALSKI owns and operates EYEWASH, a graphics studio in the Philadelphia suburbs. This is his first collaboration with William Shakespeare.
I love the idea of this set. As far as teaching, or learning Shakespeare, performing it is really how to best understand it. So for teaching Shakespeare, it's excellent.
Also, the verbiage is authentic Shakespeare,which often times is not the case in sets or books to teach children. To me Shakespeare is Shakespeare and to change it makes it not Shakespeare.
The finger puppets are awesome & include all the characters you associate with Shakespeare. The graphics are wonderful and it's cool to see these characters come to life.
The only part of this set that I'm not thrilled with, is that the stories are a little too condensed for me. The plays are not complete. But it's not a huge deal, if we want to act out all of the scenes, I can provide what's missing from a book, or online source.
Over all I think this is a fun set & great learning tool. Yes Shakespeare can be fun!
