(FREE CHAPTERS – SEE BELOW….)

 

New 60-page book – “1001 ICEBREAKERS”. Have a look –  there’s nothing else out there quite like it!!!

This pocket sized / purse sized book could well be the “next big thing”, especially as it can benefit every person in this country in some way or other.

The concept of the book is quite simple. Within its pages are 1001 direct, personal questions designed to spark a chat, a debate, a CONVERSATION! There are so many uses for this book, and I mention a lot of them in its first few pages.

(There are actually 2 versions of the book. There’s the standard BLACK book (a “family edition” if you like), and also a RED one – elsewhere on this site, which contains an extra 100 “adult” themed questions at the back in an extra chapter called “Er…Can We Skip That One?”. (PLEASE LET US KNOW WHICH VERSION YOU PREFER WHEN YOU ORDER) 

This book can also be an essential PARTY COMPANION. Whip this out at any gathering (bide your time at funerals!), and you could be chattering into the early hours…

The questions provoke amusing replies, shocking revelations, silly answers, lifelong secrets, nostalgic flashbacks, loving memories, gasps of disbelief, intelligent insights, and secret disclosures. The conversations that ensue will bring laughter…and possibly tears. But boredom will become a thing of the past.
