  • The True Story of My Lifeby Hans Christian Andersen; Mary Howitt

    The Floating Press 1847; US$ 8.95

    Ironic and hilariously cutting, the 170 full-color posters in this book ruthlessly spoof those ubiquitous black background motivational posters. Feeling down, lethargic, or generally uninspired? Don't worry, motivation is as close as the nearest corporate break room, dental waiting area, or guidance counselor's office. There's just one problem — the posters on the wall don't work! With their cliché slogans and stock-house images, they so completely fail to motivate anyone that their overused formula is now better suited for mockery than inspiration. By offering demotivational messages accompanied by ridiculous images, the author turns the motivational message upside down with very funny results. Faux versions of the... more...
