Summary: Strap on this mighty treatise of depravity! Mmmm, nasty...
Review: "Green door... what't that secret you're keeping?"In this insider's guide to the magnificence of sin you get the straight ..., the what's what, the proverbial skinny on all the places your Mama told you not to go. A veritable Subculture-O-Rama, perfect for inquisitive tenderfoots and old-school maddogs alike. Go ahead, scratch that itch. It reminds me of a quote from Warhol's "Flesh for Frankenstein (1974)": Baron Frankenstein (Udo Keir): To know life, Otto, you must first ... death in the gall bladder!

Summary: two stars for the cover . . .
Review: . . . which is the best part of the book, for which I commend the publisher. The authors, sadly, are not outlaws at all, for a real outlaw would never call himself one. Maybe this is a book for the "armchair outlaw," because all the advice and information in this book is pretty much common knowledge or common sense. Still, a nice packaging job for a book by two self-promotional squares.

Summary: The bible of fun and debauchery
Review: A brilliant tour de force! Rob and Dave have truly tapped into the zeitgeist of the 21st century, both in terms of style and content. This book is a masterpiece, destined to take its place in bathrooms around the country! Kudos, Rob and Dave. You two are geniuses in the true sense of the word.

Summary: A well-deserved triumph!
Review: A great book--well designed, hilarious...informative? Rob &Dave took a csouple middle-fingers from the cringing publishing industry on this one (I should know since I used to be part of it), and it's great to see the book out at last from a smart editor. Now buy it and laugh (and learn). You'll be very glad you did.

Summary: Only a nun would consider this stuff "outlaw"
Review: Can anybody tell me what is "outlaw" about drinking (the #1 addiction in the country), piercing/tattooing (we're just now catching up with the most ancient societies and it's all over tv and magazines), or even kinky sex for that matter (anyone out there have an internet connection?)? This is the most dull, boring, unoriginal look at averageness I have ever come accross. RESEARCH was doing this stuff 25 years ago—and doing it right! The authors are goofballs who are obviously terrified of most of the stuff they came across and were to timid to write about it with any honesty or intelligence. The humor is childish and the writing is about the same—and the whole thing looks like it was printed in somebody's garage. Don't waste your [price] on a 50-cent piece of junk like this.

Summary: This book rocks!
Review: Etiquette for Outlaws is simply the funniest book I've ever read! Loved the section on S/M etiquette the best. It's certainly the gift book of the season! Heck, I'm buying copies for all of my friends!

Summary: Rules & "etiquette" for those "unusual social situations"
Review: Ever wondered how much to tip your enighborhood hooker or tattoo artist? What about proper etiquette in a bar or pool hall? These and other probing questions of etiquette in unusual social situations are covered in this book. Taking on a variety of "underground" activities and how to act cool in all of them, this book covers a wide variety of topics. While the information here at times possibly should be taken with a grain of salt, you never know when it might be handy to know how to handle a situation where you're too drunk or in a strange crowd, or even the best way to become a groupie. The book also provides a fascinating look at these and other so-called "taboo topics," and does it well. I'm not an outlaw nor do I play one on TV, but with this book at least I can pretend to be one.

Summary: Rules to live by
Review: Everyone can take something away from this hilarious, yet totally useful guide to living. I'm not into hookers or drugs but I'm into betting and I'm into women and I'm into smelling good so this book is all about that too. I really never laughed so hard at a book, but at the same time its all so true and useful.

Summary: written for a man, but girls like it too!
Review: for the voyeur in everyone, Etiquette for Outlaws illuminates the underground social civilities of vice by interviewing those who would know. the book is a fun & quick read, yet full of detailed research & pictures that made me laugh out loud. a *definite* must read for curious law-abiding folks as well as practicing social deviants! It's such a fascinating irony that even the people who strive to be divergent in this world still run the risk of being disparaged for ignoring the social codes of their peers. I only wish more people I know would internalize rob & dave's advice & take it to heart. manners do count for a lot in this crazy world... even when you're face down in a gutter blasted on Thunderbird. a very funny book. buy it now!

Summary: "Tongue-in-Cheek" Will Never Mean the Same Again: EFO
Review: Given some of the adult-oriented material in EFO, to say that the book is "tongue-in-cheek" is as much a commentary the book's content as on its tone. No doubt, this book is NC-17. But for adults who occasionally indulge their baser urges, or want to, or those who wonder about those who do... EFO is for you. If Disneyland was an adult theme park, then EFO would be its "Small World" ride, and I can only imagine what the little dolls would be wearing (or not wearing) and what they might be singing, or ... egad... doing. But get beyond the shock-value, and EFO is truly informative. That Cohen and Wolloch thoroughly researched their subject matter is clear. They bring the best of Gen X wit and razor insight to bear on topics as weighty as suicide etiquette and as lighthearted as Rock-n-Roll groupies. There are laughs here, and information. Oh, and the pics and charts are a riot... recognize anyone? I did. "Gee, Mom, I never would have thought you were into that!" Get this book. Read it first for a laugh. Then read it for insight. Then remember: if you can't be good, at least have good form.
