Thing Explainer (Hardcover) - £5.39

Sappy404

If you got Randall Monroe's last book, What If?, for £4.99 last year, you'll know this is a comparable bargain.

From the creator of XKCD, this is basically a book of hard-to-explain everyday things explained using only diagrams and the 1000 most commonly used words in the English language.

It's really really good (if you like that sort of thing...) but I think there are a few QC issues - mine arrived with 2 pages stuck together and creases in the foldout pages where there should not have been creases.

Haven't been arsed to return it though, but it's worth keeping in mind if you're OCD.
