The Little Book of Parking Tickets [Hardcover]

Steven Appleby (Author), George Mole (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 8, 2007

As everyone knows, the parking ticket is the most serious threat to individual liberty, an everyday symbol of the arbitrary power of government. It's your duty to fight back, and with the help of Steven Appleby and George Mole, you'll be able to transform all that anger and frustration into personal growth and achievement. The Little Book of Parking Tickets will not only teach you to talk your way out of fines and escape prosecution, but reclaim your piece of mind and your parking space! What's more, it will turn the weapon of your enemy into your shield. Carefully crafted tickets let you become your own parking warden: choose one, slip it under the wiper blade of a suitable vehicle and retreat unseen to a safe distance! Complete with a potted history of parking (citations from biblical, mediaeval and renaissance eras, as well as The Golden Age of Parking), as well as a collection of tickets from other lands (and beyond), this is the ultimate gift for any driver, or passenger, on your list. (Now go move your car.)
