About the author

Born in 1887 on horseback in the midst of a terrible storm, Stephen grew up to be a prize prat. Loved by all and hated also by all. It's very confusing.

He loves to read your one-star reviews of his claptrap. His ego doubles every time someone tells him his books are a waste of paper. He writes about himself in the third person. He can bend his thumbs back further than you might imagine.

Stephen has a degree in Fine Art and it has proved indispensable in everyday life. He is autistic and 9 years sober.

Stephen currently has very poor mental health, but is hoping to improve this by going on an epic journey to the forbidden mountain of Imhotep (the doctors) to slay the beast of eternal fire (suicidal ideation) using the mystical charmed sword of Numasanah (take anti-depressants).

If you have read this far, well done.

The British Cheese Spectrum - what more could you want from a book?
This is a beautiful book full of the witty diagrams that Stephen Wildish as become known for all over the interwebs. If you like information and pie-charts then this is the book for you. If you like pies this is the book for you. Information at your fingertips in gorgeous colour with wit.
There is also additional advice on picking your Christmas meal whether you're a meat eater or veggie. Also advice on making tea.
This is a MUST for every home.
I'd also like many of these gorgeous infographics reproduced as posters, please.

This is a 'funny' book, not giving any information or insight with it's charts, just jokes. Way too many jokes about meat. Maybe 40% meat jokes. This should be a twitter account instead of a book.

Acceptable idea, bad application. I would prefer scrolling in a meme page!

Humorous infographics on mainly food and famous person, mostly about British culture. Some of the charts are a bit difficult to read as they are too complex.

Not even a little bit funny...

Not a book about the world of infographics... a book of images that can perhaps be called infographics.

Well that was a waste of time. Didn't even learn anything.
