filthy-rich-handbook1.jpgIf you’re curious about how America’s richest .0001% (sitting on $30 million-plus in liquid assets) spend their cash, or you’ve just come into your own fortune, check out The Official Filthy Rich Handbook, dropping in a few weeks and available for pre-order now now on Amazon.

The right cosmetic surgery procedures for you…and your children. The proper way to name your houses. The sacred role of privet hedges. Why the Filthy Rich swim naked. The down-and-dirty on your fellow plutocrats (The Nerdling, The Raider, and the Grande Dame, to name a few). The moochers and scoundrels to know and avoid. How to buy a gigayacht. The right spots to party in Sardinia, Aspen, Nantucket, and St. Barts. The world’s hottest tax havens. The four interior decorators worth waiting for,” and “the Filthy Richest rehabs.”

The paperback version goes for $11.95 with the library-worthy hardcover version selling for $63.

Boink Your Coffee Table

January 30th, 2008 by BallerHouse

boink.jpgBoink: College Sex by the People Having It is a coffee table book that recently came out from the creators of BOINK sex mag. BOINK’s description of the book is so good that we lifted it straight off the press release: “BOINK is what happens when a group of undergrads from Boston University decide to publish a sex magazine. Now comes their explosive book, the definitive college guide to carnal knowledge. Openly exploring sexual themes that are relevant to all men and women, these 4-color, beautifully designed pages are filled with never-before-published true stories, prescriptive advice, graphic confessions, and no-holds-barred nude pictures of real university students (not the fake “college co-eds” all over the internet). With student contributors from named major universities, BOINK vividly details what goes on under the dorm room sheets across the country.” This is a great concept, and the book is a steal at just over $12 new on Amazon.
