Outrageous, Awkward, Hilarious Fun!

93 Awkward Book Covers in 1 Book
Do you know anyone you could set up with these book covers?    
(Click on any book cover to enlarge.)

All the covers above are provided in one book.  So you don't have to decide which one to buy... you will have them all!

Is This Really Your Book?
 

An Utterly Ridiculous Collection of Funny "How To" and "Self Help" Prank Book Covers to Keep Your Friends, Family, Neighbors, Co-workers, and Total Strangers Wondering.


"Ever get bored while waiting at someone’s house and start looking at the covers of the books they have lying around?  The kind of books a person reads can reveal a lot about who they really are and sometimes it can be really surprising to find out the truth about a person you thought you knew well. Or maybe they’re just pranking you."  - Anita Wirawan



Okay, so this more like a prop than a book.  It is designed to flip to a different cover on every page. Put it on your coffee table for guests to discover.  They'll do a double take and then start to wonder... "Is this really your book?"


Ready to Go, Easy to Use, Instant Fun (...Just Add Friends)


If you enjoy observing how people react to unusual situations you are going to enjoy this "book". 

Simply...
  • pick a funny book cover that would catch your friends attention.
  • discreetly plant the book in a location where it will eventually be discovered
  • and sit back to enjoy your friend's reaction after spotting the title.

Each of the colorful book covers is made from quality, heavy-card stock (not just paper) to give it that "cover-of-the-book" feel.


"Uh..., not that it's any of my business... but are you REALLY reading..."

  • The Pyramid Scheme: How to Use Friends to Build Your Empire
  • The Do-It-Yourself Backyard Cremation
  • When Friendship Is Not Enough: Taking It to the Next Level
  • Burdened by Knowledge: How to Fit in with the Less Intelligent



Do you remember watching 
Candid Camera, or X'ed, or Punk'd, and enjoying the reaction of some unsuspecting persons to some preposterous situation or embarrassing moment?  Did you ever wish that you could be one of its victims?  I did.   Who wouldn't like to be taken out of the daily humdrum and placed in some crazy and interesting situation that causes you to do a double take?  

 

The Book's Unique Design

  • This collection of 93 awkward and slightly embarrassing How-To book covers is wire bound allowing you to quickly flip any title to the front of the book.
  • Its various book covers alternate between being right-side up and up-side down so that its binding will always be on the left. (See our video).
  • Each of the colorful how-to titles is made from quality, heavy-card stock to give it that "cover-of-the-book" feel.
  • Your "victims" will think its an entire book about... say, "50 Schemes That Will Help You Outshine Your Co-workers."

 

Your Social Events Are Now Your Opportunities!

Imagine your family's reaction at the next gathering when they discover the book, Getting Your Fair Share of the Family Inheritance (or Even More!), sitting on your brother's coffee table. 

Tease your neighbor by "accidentally" leaving a book on your patio table that is titled How to Find Out Everything There Is To Know About Your Neighbor.  

Inconspicuously leave The Pyramid Scheme: How to Use Friends to Build Your Empire on your counter, waiting for the surprised glances of that couple you invited for dinner. 

And when you go to your buddy's place to watch the next big game, sneak a book titled Top Dog: Becoming the Alpha Male under the bowl of chips where the rest of the guys can find it. 

We hope you enjoy using this book as much as we've enjoyed putting it together.  Just add your imagination and a few good friends to put a little laughter and fun in your day! It makes the perfect gift for that wacky uncle of yours.



Makes a Great Gift!

Or you can give the book as a gag gift for a birthday gift, hostess gift, retirement gift, or office gift with one of the embarrassing titles set as the front cover of the book ready to be unwrapped. Unlike other gag gifts this one can be used again and again for all sorts of funny embarrassing moments.

The Ultimate Prank Book 
A funny link by Luke McKinney   8,270   69

We've found a fantastic prank book, and that's "fantastic" as in "we fantasize about having thought about it first." Because it's a brilliant idea.   Is This Really Your Book? really can be judged by its cover, because it's nothing but cover. Ninety-three of them, in fact, all cunningly crafted to embarrass the hell out of people if hidden just visibly enough in the right place.

 

The spiral binding allows you to flip through almost a hundred perfect situations, or sacrifice the whole thing for one perfect practical joke in your boss's office. You can use it yourself on the subway, or anywhere people are so mindlessly bored that providing a laugh counts as being a good Samaritan. Or even a hero. It's a 100% solid prank book, as opposed to a book of pranks, and we can heartily recommend it. But don't worry -- it's not like we'll get jealous and start drawing attention to our own products instead. And now the link:  http://www.isthisreallyyourbook.com/


 Here is a recent press release for our book.


"Our family has had so much fun with this book. Every time we know guests are visiting we fight over which cover we are going to use on them. It never gets old!"

Here is an interview we did on WIKB 99.1 FM, a radio station out of Iron River, MI on June 26th, 2010.  The first few seconds are a little garbled. 




So Please... Judge Our Book By Its Covers!
