Synopsis
'Silly Beggar' takes the art of acquiring the freebie to a whole new level of absurdity. Rejoice as the customer service departments of multinational corporations are fed ridculous stories to make them part with T-shirts or other logo-bearing bounty. Bask in the author's bizarre accounts of penguin attacks, weird experiments, heroic alter egos and many more fishy tales, each designed to garner goodies for absolutely nothing. Whether he's playing the system or just playing games, James Spence demonstrates his comic genius via his uniquely entertaining emails. The respondents often surprise us too by entering into the spirit of James's wacky world. With colour photos of the author and his novel collection of branded toys, mugs, books, vouchers and, of course - T-shirts Full colour with cartoons and photos throughout. The ideal gift book!
