Product Description

This miniature volume taken from the best-selling Darwin Awards series relays some of the best accounts of awe-inspiring criminal errors. Boggle at the man who tried to pass counterfeit $16 bills, the crook who hid behind the ATM he had just robbed, and the woman who called police to report that the cocaine she purchased was fake. This collection of cautionary tales proves that crime does pay...a genetic dividend! Including full-color illustrations and new, never-before-published stories, this miniature collection makes a wonderful addition to the Darwin Awards library.

Customer Reviews

NOT A BOOK - IT'S TINY!2
My son loves the Darwin Awards books, so I ordered this one for his birthday. I was shocked when it arrived because it's only 2.25"x3.25" - not exactly the kind of thing you wrap up for a birthday present. I'm sending it back and getting him a real book!

little book, really little2
The price is right, and there are the usual Darwin Award stories but be aware that this is a mini-volume, barely a handful, and I don't think that is made clear enough. I was expecting the normal format, instead got this 4x4 novelty item.

Very Funny, but small4
I got this book and the rest because I love the Darwin Award Books. But When I purchased it, I assumed it was a full sized book. It is in fact a very small book with about 180 pages of funny stories. I personally wish it was a regular sized book, but I'll take it as I can get it.
