Field Guide to the North American Bird
- Book Review,
by Adam Blank
Book Description
There is one gesture that transcends language, race, gender, and age: the bird. Growing up together in Des Moines, Iowa, brother and sister Adam and Lauren Blank exchanged a lot of birds, and THE FIELD GUIDE TO THE NORTH AMERICAN BIRD is the product of their quest for the elusive jaw-dropping, eye-popping Mother of All Birds. Complete with step-by-step illustrations for more than 50 species of f#*@-yous, this handy little guide will have you flipping off with skill and panache, from basic birds like the Sit and Spin to more sophisticated birds like the Bouquet. You’ll find the perfect one-finger salute for any occasion, whether tormenting your little sister or telling that tailgater exactly what you think of him.
