The History of Insults
NEW EDITION
Ever wanted to air the lungs(1) like a cowboy or dreamed of channeling the wit of Shakespeare to deliver that killer put-down to an Elizabethan fustilarian (2)? Are you too much of a medieval scobberlotcher (3) to realise this ambition? Well, you’re in luck, because The History of Insults has some of the finest put-downs of all time—starting with the Ancient Romans and Greeks and working through the centuries to modern times. This means you can dish out the best burns to bacon-fed bell swaggers(4) to your heart’s content. As they used to say in 19thcentury London, “It’s more than enough to make a stuffed bird laugh!” (1)
Swear; (2) Scoundrel; (3) Lazy person; (4) Fat, loudmouth bullies
• Contains over 100 insults from medieval knights, Roman legionnaires, Wild West cowboys, Shakespearean actors, Jazz-Age flappers, and more. • Wordplay books make for brilliant stocking fillers and Secret Santa gifts. • Each page has witty illustrations paired with laugh-out-loud translations of the insults into modern parlance. NATHAN JOYCE is a writer, editor, and trivia buff. He is the author of Loo-niversity (Dog ‘n’ Bone Books).

NEW EDITION
Everything you need to know about growing your own cannabis, recipes for marijuana munchies, and a step-by-step guide for 20 innovative ways to roll a joint. Sick of smoking low-grade weed? Fed up of paying increasingly high prices? Well, now it’s time to do something about it and grow your own. With just a small investment in some basic equipment and this guide, you’ll soon be flipping the bird to your dealer as you spark up some superstrong green you’ve grown entirely yourself. And what about once you’ve cultivated your first harvest? The second section looks at recipes for cooking with weed—from hash brownies to ganja guacamole—and innovative, fun ways to smoke it. There are 20 different rolling projects to try, like the perfect, simple one-skin spliff for beginners or the more elaborate behemoth that is the The Scorpion. • Weed has gone mainstream; non-medical use is legal in 8 states plus the District of Columbia, it’s decriminalized in a further 14 states, and medical marijuana is now legal in 29 states. • A report by cannabis industry analysts at Arcview Market Research states the legal weed industry in the US is now worth $10 billion. • Ideal as a gift for the stoner or student in your life. • Mary Jane’s Hash Brownies, Hot Pot, and Other Marijuana Munchies has sold over 20,000 copies for Dog ‘n’ Bone. DANNY MALLO is a weed advocate and graphic designer by trade. He uses the same keen eye for detail and stylish presentation required for work as he does when cultivating his crops, baking cannabis treats, or constructing his perfectly rolled joints. He is based in London, UK.
