{"product_id":"the-manual-lissa-elaine-judd-9780473268602","title":"The Manual: A Girl Guide for Guys","description":"I have been referring to this book all my adult life: \"Read The Manual\", I'd urge, after some bewildering or exasperating encounter with a man. I searched high and low for a user's guide to bestow to the befuddled male at Christmas or on a birthday, but having never found what I was looking for I decided to write it myself. My relationships with men encompass the usual diversity - father, brother, friends, boyfriends, two husbands (sequentially, not concurrent) and a son - all good men (well, no, two of them were assholes), intelligent and well-intentioned, but all at one time or another uncomprehending, delusional, or bizarrely misinformed. As I put pen to paper, and began the task of displaying and interpreting all those female peculiarities, I marvelled at what complex creatures we women are. Men seem relatively straightforward by comparison (that impression I grant you, could arise from a position of complete ignorance, but as a woman I'm bound to regard that interpretation as highly unlikely). I also felt a surge of sympathy as I disentangled femininity and came to the ineluctable conclusion that women are bonkers (but, we're also gorgeous and wonderful and will immeasurably enrich your lives).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lissa Elaine Judd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0473268604\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780473268602\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Idea Factory\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/22\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 54\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.11d","brand":"Lissa Elaine Judd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443497677055,"sku":"9780473268602","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5b751f23-7506-4ba8-9369-e40a35f9bf07.jpg?v=1777205886","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-manual-lissa-elaine-judd-9780473268602","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
