Join Science Fiction Book Club for a great deal on THE TOUGH GUIDE TO FANTASYLAND
If you’re reading this sentence, you fall infallibly into one of two categories: either you already own a copy of the Tough Guide, or you need one. No reader of fantasy can afford to be without this handy guidebook when traveling the lands of wonder and enchantment.
You’ve all seen a travel guide at some point, right? Burma on Two Lumps of Coal a Day or Backpacking Through Pangaea—that sort of thing. Well, imagine such a book for the land of fantasy novels; a book listing alphabetically everything you needed to know, from Adept to Zombies. (With entries on Gnomic Utterances, Hovels, Vestigial Empire, and Minions of the Dark Lord along the way.) The Tough Guide to Fantasyland is exactly that book—your detailed guide to all of the secrets of the worlds of fantasy. You’ll learn the true secrets of fantasy Horses (how can they run all day without food or water?), master the intricacies of Color Coding (“Red hair always entails magical powers”), and discover how to pick the right Sword.
The Tough Guide is, simply, the funniest book about fantasy ever written. If you love fantasy, you’ll recognize all of the clichés and laugh at them. And if you hate fantasy, then you'll laugh even more.
