Awa Press in New Zealand publishes the ultimate in DIY instructions in its “Ginger” series.
For example:
How to catch a cricket match
How to gaze at the southern stars
How to drink a glass of wine
How to listen to pop music
(My favourite, so far. Pop music is one of the few things I know anything about, although I’m quite adept at drinking wine. And I can even be persuaded to use a glass on occasion)
How to catch a fish.
And so on.
Borders – in their infinite wisdom – has a post-Xmas sale with 15% off virtually everything. And they obviously can’t program their cash registers to deduct 15% from virtually everything, so they’ve reverted to the pre-1970s trick of labelling virtually everything with 85% of the pre-sale price.
And in their infiniter (sic) wisdom, they’ve emasculated the title of virtually everything with labels on steroids
Making things very interesting:
How to cricket
How to stars
How to pop music
How to fish
How to drink
Not bad titles for a new series, actually.
Although I don’t need the last one.
I’m OK on my own.
Especially without a glass.

>How to Read… How to Look…..And if you pen any of these, you get invited to a lengthly interview on National Radio. I think you should write How to Blog and make your next NZ$million.
