AN ENTIRE BOOK FULL OF STERLING SILVER THOUGHTS: THE ELEMENTS OF F*CKING STYLE


A surprisingly useful grammar book from the cofounders of The Fucking Word of the Day (thefuckingwordoftheday.com)*

The examples of proper usage are priceless & unforgettable. Here are a few of my personal favorites:

-"A decent homemade sex tape requires three things: good lighting, attractive participants, and a tripod."

-"My date, who had seemed listless and uninterested through dinner, perked up as soon as I broke out the cocaine."

-"Commas are fucking fun..She's got fake tits, nails, and hair."

SILVER THOUGHTS: BEAUTIFUL AND THOUGHTFUL ART BOOK






For thirty-six weeks, a sketchbook was sent in random order between four artists: two in Brooklyn, two in Belfast.

Every Wednesday, one participant would receive book. In order to maintain schedule, it was sent out the following Monday, giving each artist five days to complete a spread in response to the one that preceded it.

A small portion of each entry extends on to the following page. Beyond this, there was no communication between the artists concerning the content of book during its making.

book's first trip across the Atlantic was on 2 June, 2003. Its final trip was on 2 February, 2004. By the time it was completed, book had travelled over sixty thousand miles.
