Customer Reviews

Laugh-out-loud
I picked this book up on a whim after reading a few pages, and it was well worth buying. It's a collection of laugh-out-loud funny signs from around the world. Each sign is accompanied by a humorous remark. Some are poor translations, others are funny taken out of context, and others are just ironic or ridiculous.
I found it so amusing, I bought the first in the series, and took them with me while visiting family for Thanskgiving. Leaving them on the coffee table, folks of all ages (teens, parents of young kids and grandparents) picked them up over the course of several days, reading them to one another and laughing out loud.
I like "Signspotting 2" slightly better than the first, "Signspotting" only because the photos are better quality/resolution, but both are great reads.

Lonely Planet Signspotting (Lonely Planet Pictorial)

TOOOOO FUNNY!!
This would be a great gift for anyone in the hospital, recovering at home or a gift for that person "that has everything!" These signs are REAL, the photographers who spotted these signs and took the time to back up, dig out the camera, snap the picture and email it to Doug Lansky, deserve much credit!!

Doug Lansky is a great guy to put it all together, so we can sit and laugh our fool heads off!! A GREAT GIFT BOOK FOR ANYONE!!

Yeah, the picture I submitted to Doug is also in the book (shame shame!)
Seriously, this is a very funny book!!

Signs are funny
I am overweight and uni-languagal (not even a word), just like the rest of us americans. Therefore, I find books like "Signspotting 2" hilarious. I mean, "Be Aware of Invisibility"? That's great stuff. Not only is it incorrect English, but it gives you the idea that, "Hey, maybe in some country somewhere I can become invisible." My 14-year-old daughter and I read this book and the first Signspotting book together and laughed until our heads hurt. It was great bonding stuff for an overworked mom and her "I'm always right" teenage daughter. I recommend it highly.
