Stickers were cool. I liked almost all of them but, they do not stick very well (maybe the one I got was a little old).
Be prepared to put some extra adhesive if you plan on using them a lot.

Due to the lack of pictures available, I wasn't sure what to expect upon opening this book. To my surprise, it is filled with 10-15 pages of stickers (many duplicates) that are perfect for sticking anywhere! If you're a Ron English fan, I would definitely recommend this product and if you're not (or are not familiar with his work)... it is also a great for stick fanatics.
The stickers range from twists on famous brands and their slogans (beverage companies, oil companies, etc.) to fake warning labels.

There's a page with multiple full scale stickers of light switches and wall sockets. The rest are good too. If you like Ron English then there's no excuse not to get this. These stickers are awesome. Ron English is an American hero.
