About the Book

It may not be great literature—but at least it's handy. From the mastermind of the hugely successful The Red Green Show comes a book that is going to change your life, or at least make you laugh—a lot—whenever you pick it up. And people are going to be picking it up for many years to come, because—like the long-rerunning TV shows—there's not a topical gag in the book anywhere, so it's going to be funny for the forseeable future. And as its title suggests, this is also a terribly useful book. Among its very many gems of advice, it shows how to cook with acetylene, take revenge on a lawn mower, measure your hat size with a two-by-four, reduce your carbon footprint (it involves moving into a fruit tree located next to a liquor store) and make your own alternative fuel (which involves an empty propane tank and a full septic one).

About the Author :
RED GREEN is the leader of Possum Lodge, Chapter 11, a northern Ontario eyesore. He is friendly, inventive, cheap and as honest as the day is long, which means he's the least honest on December 21. When he works on his handyman projects, Red is not stupid, he's impatient. So he uses duct tape to "buy time." Red Green is the star of The Red Green Show, which had first runs in Canada and the US from 1991 until 2006, making it the longest running live-action scripted comedy in the world. It continues to be enormously popular in reruns here and in the States. Red Green is the creation of Canadian comedian and writer Steve Smith. Artist Red Green has previously illustrated his own poetry books, which he kept carefully hidden until it was agreed he could do the illustrations for this book. Photographer Red Green's discovery that a professional might charge upwards of a hundred dollars led him to the decision to take the damn pictures in this book himself.

Review :
"When looking for wisdom on big questions, I turn to either the Bible or Red Green." —Ken Gallinger, Ethically Speaking columnist, Toronto Star "[H]ilarious, satirical and smart. . . . Some of the advice—such as [Smith's] tips on surviving marriage—is wiser and more honest than anything you'll read in a real so-called self-help book." —The Globe and Mail "Thankfully . . . Steve Smith is as crafty with words as he is with DIY home renovations." —Toronto Life "For those suffering from Possum Lodge withdrawal—fear not, because Red's back and he's written the ultimate do-it-yourself and self-help manual all rolled into one." —Canoe.com
