THE ENGLISHMAN'S HANDBOOK

Octagon Press, London, 2000

This third book in the trilogy, The Englishman's Handbook, provides the British with an invaluable manual on foreigners and 'how to deal with them.'

Packed with anecdotes, as well as handy tips from the press, it is all that any true Britisher will need to keep foreigners from his shores -- or confuse them into submission if they do manage to break through. Traditional techniques like 'The Group Mind,' 'Masterly Inactivity,' and 'Aversion Therapy' are explained in full. A treasury of information and an elucidator of misinformation, it's an illuminating and hilarious read.
