APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This spoof travel guide—created by the Australian comedians responsible for the indie film The Castle and the mockumentary TV show All Aussie Adventures—is part of the Jetlag Travel Guides. It’s a hilarious overview of the charms of a bogus Eastern European country that boasts a cuisine heavy on pickled meat and has its own national sport, Plutto—described as a mix of lacrosse and polo played on donkeys. Featuring humourous colour photos documenting Molvanian traditions like the sale of jackets made from recycled car seats—and lengthy warnings about the cultural perils of blowing your nose—this cheeky, chipper satire will leave you in stitches.

Missing
This may have been a very humorous treatment, however, the book I downloaded is missing 60% of the text and most of the illustrations. Very disappointing.
