A**holeology: The Science Behind Getting Your Way—and Getting Away with it

It's a bit tough to tell whether or not this book is a joke. It's definitely written in a joking tone—purportedly a self-help guide to help men be "pricks." It may be intended to be more diagnostic than instructional, a sort of etiquette manual by contrast? We certainly don't recommend putting this advice into practice. The authors are actors and acting coaches, and therein lies the true value of this book—learning to pull off the a-hole act, while laughing in disbelief at the antics of actual Hollywood a-holes these guys have encountered.

(This book may contain a small, black sharpie mark on the bottom edge, so that it can't be returned to a different wholesaler.)
