Cool Shit is full of simple, colorful illustrations that instruct readers how to do . . . well . . . just about everything that's awesome, like taking down a hostile regime single-handed, making up a batch of moonshine, driving like a stuntperson, skating in a roller derby, giving yourself a tattoo, or impersonating a mobster. From the everyday practical (how to play darts like an ace) to the downright crazy (care to jump out of an airplane, anyone?), this book takes badassery to heights and depths most people can only imagine. And shows you how, every step of the way.
