The Bluffer’s Guide series is well established. As the back covers put it: ‘Bluffer’s Guides - a series of snappy little books containing facts, jargon, and all you need to know for instant expertise.’ Other titles include the Bluffer’s Guide to Accountancy, to Computers, Golf, The Internet, Opera, Skiing, and so on. The success of the formula owes much to the fact that humour has a habit of exposing the truth.

Humour
The Bluffer’s Guide to Middle Age
Published by Oval Books, London
ISBN-10: 1903096995 (2006 edn)
ISBN-13: 978-1903096994
First published in 2004
Inside, or course, we’re all still eighteen, but our treacherous bodies seem to want to tell us something different. It’s hard to remain chipper in the face of such onslaughts, but this book should lighten the load with a bit of mirth – or at least deliver a salutary reality check. Not suffering in any way from a mid-life crisis, I didn’t really think I was qualified to write this book, but I needed the money to buy a drum kit and a big motorbike.

Humour
The Xenophobe’s Guide to the Belgians

ISBN-10: 1902825195
ISBN-13: 978-1902825199
First published in 1995
The Xenophobe’s Guides are a kind of parallel series to the Bluffer’s Guides, also published by Oval Books. They are based on a clever formula: although designed to amuse, they tell the reader the essentials about what makes a nation tick. As the back covers put it: ‘Xenophobe’s Guides - an irreverent look at the beliefs and foibles of nations, almost guaranteed to cure Xenophobia.’
