Customer Reviews

Great stuff
The Basic Instructions comic strips have been my best discovery since the genius of Scott Adams/Dilbert.
Scott Meyer provides a range of cartoons to help with a range of everyday situations from "How to disguise a yawn" to "How to lie to a child" - they work because of the self-deprecating humour and because they are so accurate. Really good stuff and Meyer has a website (Basic Instructions) so it is easy to check out and see if you like his humour before you consider buying this, but you should because it is very good indeed.

The best coffeetable/bathroom/pocket book you can get
Webcomics are a dime a dozen these days, but amidst all the clatter Scott Meyer's "Basic Instructions" stands out as one of the best, period.

Each page of this book is a gem, containing a four-panel comic with a witty, laugh-out-loud lesson. The cast of characters is endearing and the punchlines are solid, cover to cover.

My favorite part about the "Basic Instructions" book (besides its great price) is how handy it is to have around. Each comic is self-contained and re-readable a hundred times over, so it's perfect to keep a copy on the coffee table to impress company, by the TV for during commercials or game loadings, or in the bathroom for private amusement.

Mr. Meyer is a master of his craft, and this book is a must-have for... pretty much everyone. You won't be disappointed.

Hilarious
If you've read Scott's comics on his web site then you won't find anything new here. But his comics are hilarious and having them in one, easy accessible book is definitely worth it. I've re-read it countless times and it still makes me laugh!
