Finally. A guide on how to avoid huge ships.

Amazon.com: How to Avoid Huge Ships...Amazon.com: How to Avoid Huge Ships...

Just check out the good this book is doing:

"I bought How to Avoid Huge Ships as a companion to Captain Trimmer's other excellent titles: How to Avoid a Train, and How to Avoid the Empire State Building. These books are fast paced, well written and the hard won knowledge found in them is as inspirational as it is informational. After reading them I haven't been hit by anything bigger than a diesel bus. Thanks captain!"

    Read this book before going on vacation and I couldn't find my cruise liner in the port. Vacation ruined.

    As the father of two teenagers, I found this book invaluable. I'm sure other parents here can empathize when I say I shudder at the thought of the increasing influence and presence of huge ships in the lives my children. I certainly remember the strain I caused so long ago for my own parents when I began experimenting with huge ships. The long inter-continental voyages that kept my mom and dad up all night with worry. Don't even get me started on the international protocols when transporting perishable cargo. To think, I was even younger than my kids are now! huge ships are everywhere and it doesn't help that the tv and movies make huge ships seem glamorous and cool. This book helped me really approach the subject of huge ships with my kids in an honest, open and non judgmental way. Because of the insights this book provided, I can sleep a little better and cope with the reality that I can't always be there to protect my kids from huge ships, especially as they become adults. I'm confident that my teens, when confronted by a huge ship, are much better prepared to make wiser decisions than I did. At the very least my children certainly know that they can always come to me if they have any concerns, questions or just need my support when it comes to the topic of huge ships.

    Lol,

    That's actually the type of thing that could go viral If it's picked up by high traffic sites/blogs.

      You gotta laugh at the reviews - "this book has saved my life" and

      "After reading them I haven't been hit by anything bigger than a diesel bus"

      Love it.

    This book is 112 pages, and there's another one about how to avoid The Empire State Building? I assume these books are spoofs, but I still can't imagine how someone could write so much on topics like this. It's a good lesson in marketing that you can sell just about anything if you have the right angle!
