This book has the added dimension of truly "Twisted" humor. It begins with an uproarious "Complete History of Balloons." Subsequent chapters continue the evolutionary history of the earth, with amusing explanations of how balloons fit in, indeed how they dictate, the world's development. From the publisher: "Twisting History was written to answer the most common questions about balloon sculpting: 1. ``How can I learn to make funny things out of balloons?'' 2. ``Can you make anything besides dogs and cats?'' 3. ``How do balloon animals fit into the evolutionary history of the world?'' You will find in this book: 1. Step-by-step instructions for creating sculptures from balloons. These include common figures, as well as many new creations. 2. Ideas for using balloons to entertain audiences. 3. An illustrated, and perhaps slightly ``twisted,'' history of balloons and balloon animals. Endless possibilities exist for those that learn the art of balloon sculpting: 1. Impress your friends. 2. Embarrass your friends. 3. Get free food.". Second Edition, Revised. Softcover (spiral bound). Near Fine condition/No jacket, as issued. Illus. by Moss, Larry; & Tiernan Ray. (design by David Kalvitis). 108pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.…

Store description

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985.

Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole.

Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
