4 out of 5 stars Wit and wisdom gleaned from oddball and haphazard signs   August 19, 2008
Signspotting 2 continues the franchise with more humorous wit and wisdom gleaned from oddball and haphazard signs around the globe. Small doses of this humor have been shown to dispel gloom, get small groups laughing, and cause good-natured head scratching. Grab a copy and keep it close---you never know when stuff this funny might make someone's day.

I do have to say that the captions prove a bit distracting and that I think most folks would rather come up with their own tag lines for these truly funny photos.



5 out of 5 stars TOOOOO FUNNY!!   May 19, 2008

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!!

Lots of material here. I loved this book and it makes me wish I had taken more sign pictures while I was overseas. Definitely good for a laugh!


4 out of 5 stars Signs are funny   February 13, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

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.

Lonely Planet Signspotting 2 : The World's Most Absurd Signs (Lonely Planet Signspotting) A gift for the person who has everything. Both of the sign spotting books by this author are fun, amusing and inclined to have readers looking for their own funny signs as they travel. These books are good for passing around or even "regifting" (if you are willing to give them up).
