The Onion
Our Dumb World
Little, Brown/Hachette
The new break-out hit from the iconic humor newspaper and website, Our Dumb World: The Onion Atlas of the Planet Earth was called “possibly the funniest book ever written” by the Miami Herald. Their previous original book, Our Dumb Century was the #1 New York Times bestseller. Their many collections were all bestsellers as well.
Kasper Hauser
Obama's Blackberry
Little, Brown/Hachette
The latest brilliant idea from the most beloved behind-the-scenes comedy team in the U.S. (just ask John Hodgman and Ben Karlin who’s made them laugh hardest recently), Obama’s Blackberry invents totally believable and hilarious email exchanges between Obama and his friends, family, colleagues, enemies, and spammers from all over. We’re waiting for The New York Times to list it as the perfect stocking stuffer (along with Kasper Hauser’s first two books – SkyMaul and Weddings of the Times) of the new century.

The New Vampire's Handbook
Villard/Random House
Everyone has a learning curve – even the newest young vampire. Action Five, the authors of The Dangerous Book for Dogs and The Devious Book for Cats, have come up with a guide no freshman blood-sucker will want to live without. With their trademark hilarity, the group covers everything you need to know, from etiquette to business practices. Or, as Miles Procter might say, it’s a book with real bite.
