Summary: just amazing!!!
Review: As a lover of bizzare facts, I felt that I hit the mother-load. The Big Book of Vice is an incredible well of information, with great a bibliography that serves as a roadmap for the dedicated kookologist. For anyone else, it is an extremely entertaining, fun and easy to read book, as are all the "Big Books" Paradox press puts out. The art is wonderful, and the short, comic style is the perfect addition to your bathroom reading list. Highly recommended!

Summary: Another pure dose for the "Big Book Of..." junkies.!!
Review: From undoubtedly one of the best quality comic-book series ever comes the Big Book Of Vice:
fans of this incredible series know all too well that what's to be expected here is a very-in-depth look into the subject (vice) with the aid of some of the best contemporary comic-makers around.
Your illustrated journey includes:
-tobbaco. Its superbly interesting history plus the all (not) too well hazards it pertains to as well as all the marketing trickeries involved in its spread.-prostitution. Again, its history as the "world's oldest profession" (you'll discover stuff beyond imagination on this one) plus the wide spectrum of vice and illegality it brings with it..
-gambling. Probably the most spectacular and eye-opening section of the book. Check out the stunningly imaginative scams of lotteries, pro-betters and pro-cheaters, card playing, and some of the most infamous bets ever made!
-and a "general" section on vice which even includes the "danger" posed by comics as seen by some of society's less liberal sectors. As usual, drawn with tremendous gusto and funny as hell, this is a proud addition to the series. Even if your acquaintence with this series begins here be warned: odds are you will be hooked. And yes, i'd take a nice lil wager on that too.
Precious stuff.

Summary: Defininitely another Hit!
Review: I've been hooked! This book is definitely one good read- page after page this is one of the most entertaining books i've read. 192 pages is just not enough- this volume is an informative and entertaining compendium of mankind's best (or worst- depending on the reader) pastimes. This volume contains everything you want to know about sex, drugs, booze, and everything in between. This book is definitely worth your $13.50

Summary: Funny, informative overview of bad habits through history
Review: The latest entry in Paradox Press' ongoing "Big Book" series ranks up there with he best of them. It should go nicely with "The Big Book of Scandal." Now you can learn more about the bad habits that got all of those people in trouble in the first place. Vance, who is better known for his work on The Simpsons comic book, and co-writer Dave Stern cover sex, drugs, gambling, booze, tobacco and every other nasty habit known to man, and woman.

Summary: Another solid entry in the Big Books series...
Review: Wow. The gang of malcontents at Paradox Press continues to impress. The latest Big Book deals with bad things people do because they want to, with an emphasis on the history of vices as well as their current status. Nice to see how little things have changed in some respects, and how much they have in others. Highly recommended, though a shade less brilliant than the Big Books of Hoaxes, Scandal, and Urban Legends.
