*Closed* The Encyclopedia of Immaturity Vol 1 & 2 – Review & Giveaway (3 Winners!)
Nov 5th, 2009 Posted in Giveaways, Reviews | 361 comments »
About an hour ago, I finished reading The Encyclopedia of Immaturity Volume 2. This Klutz book seems to be aimed at tweens and teens, but I am 34-years old and found it uproarious. If you decide to buy this book as a gift for your child, grandchild, niece or nephew, make sure you read it first. Better yet, buy yourself a copy! You will be glad you did.
Another way to acquire this book and its predecessor is to win them here! Klutz is allowing me to give away copies of The Encyclopedia of Immaturity AND The Encyclopedia of Immaturity Volume 2 to three of my lucky readers! If you have ever owned or read a Klutz book, you know about their quirky blend of humor and instruction.
I have been a fan of the Klutz company for many years. Klutz books taught me how to juggle, to master the art of using a yo-yo, and how to create origami out of dollar bills. The books are easy-to-understand manuals that teach people how to do things that many people want to learn, but usually do not think to ask how. A unique feature of Klutz books is that they usually come packaged with the apparatus used to master the skill being taught. Since the company’s inception in 1977, Klutz has been a hotbed of arcane and outrageous knowledge.
In 2007, The Encyclopedia of Immaturity was released. This first volume contains more than 300 hilarious facts, pranks, tricks and activities. The book was a bestseller and won the National Parenting Publications Gold Award. Now they have followed it up with the equally great and rollicking Encyclopedia of Immaturity Vol 2! Here is the synopsis from Klutz.
“The Encyclopedia of Immaturity has been such a hit that Klutz is following up with a second book! The Encyclopedia of Immaturity Volume 2 includes thought-provoking topics such as how to slide down a banister, what we talk about when we talk about wedgies, how to send a toiletgram, and more. It’s all new and all hopelessly goofy.”
If you are not already a fan of Klutz products, you may very well be one after reading this book. The Encyclopedia of Immaturity Vol 2 is a gut-busting blend of practical jokes, fun facts, cool tricks, and crazy antics that will amuse and inspire the child inside all of us. Check out the video demonstration below showing how to slip on a banana!
The Encyclopedia of Immaturity Vol 2 is hard-bound with thick sturdy pages. It is available from Klutz for $19.95 + S&H. For just a little bit extra, they will gift-wrap it for you! Trust me, this will make a great gift for that special person in your life who has everything.
The Giveaway is now closed with 356 Entries! Thank you all for entering and I will do a drawing in the morning at random.org.

Disclosure: Klutz provided me with a copy of The Encyclopedia of Immaturity Vol 2 for review. They are also allowing me to give three of my readers copies of both The Encyclopedia of Immaturity Vol 1 & Vol 2. The Klutz company is going to be responsible for shipping the prizes after I provide the shipping information of the winning entrants. No monetary compensation was received for this post, and the sample book in no way affected my opinion of the product. This article offers an honest opinion and has not been reviewed or edited by anyone other than Larry H. of Cakeblast.
