Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book: 10 3/4 Anniversary Edition 
asked by redapple on November 12, 2006 2:03 PM
In 1995 Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book was released to an unsuspecting public. Called "an unstoppable phenomenon" by its publisher, it became an immediate international best-seller. Now 2005 can be named the Year of Lady Cottington with the 10th anniversary of the publication that first exposed the world to the science of fairy exploration.
This volume records in authentic facsimile the latest incarnation of this notorious book along with eight additional pages and enhanced artwork throughout, virtually overflowing with freshly flattened fairies. Former Monty Python member Terry Jones and artist Brian Froud provide a new introduction to place the book in its proper perspective, offering insight into the book's often maligned historic relevance. As a bonus, included is an incriminating DVD showing rare film footage of the elderly Lady Cottington in her garden demonstrating her fairy-squashing technique, as well as a photo gallery, desktop wallpaper, and screensavers.

I absolutely love this book!!! First I must say, I can't imagine why anyone would buy it for their children without looking at it first, as it seems some of the critics of it have. I would never buy something for children without knowing exactly what it is. With that said, I think this book is very funny and has such an artistic flare to it. Anyone who loves Brian Froud's work will be thrilled with this book. Also, if you love any kind of books about fairies and have a good sense of humor this is definately for you.

I loved the book, really nothing new in it I felt from the last one, you got a new sticker, and a cd showing a shim, (a woman or man) talking to someone. I didn't get my free screensaver and all that stuff that was suppose to be there, when I contacted the publisher, they told me to contact Amazon.
