Back Cover: Open this book and behold a menagerie of lovably funny-looking animals, each portrait complemented with an appropriately humorous quip. It's a cheerful, always good-natured look at several of the more cosmetically challenged members of the animal kingdom. If you're shopping for a gift book, or simply looking for a short photo essay to lighten your own mood, you'll find that this is a book with a difference: No sentimentality here! Instead of adorable kittens or winsome pooches, The Ugly Book presents portraits of a warthog, a seriously unkempt boar, the derriere of a rhino, and several lovably funny-looking canines that will never win prizes at the Westminster Dog Show. If some of the animals' nearly human expressions strike you as familiar-perhaps surprisingly similar to faces of people you know-you'll also enjoy the brief descriptive captions that accompany them. Animals, especially the funny ones, often have a telling way of reflecting the human condition. Here's a book to prove it. Back Flap: Andrew Davies has been seeing humor in animals since childhood. He grew up in England with his nose glued to the television screen whenever a favorite BBC animal show came on the air. His favorite character in the show was a zookeeper who also became voice-over for some of the zoo's more amusing animals, including an elephant named Wendy and Dottie, a ring-tailed lemur.

- e***u (283)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThe listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.
- e***n (392)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufGreat transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
- 0***g (380)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufExcellent purchase. Was able to get all three items from the one seller. Seller was able to bundle all three items together into one package. Items as described and arrived in perfect condition. Good communication around shipping and tracking as items delayed and not able to be delivered by original estimate. Thanks to shipping updates I was able to track the items arriving before the extended delivery time. Thank you for making these items available on EBay.
