Review:
Okay, I may not drink coffee (no need to gasp) but I did find this to be cute and funny. There was a lot of interesting facts about the drink along with plenty of humor. I guess someone who is a coffee drinker would probably appreciate this much more than me who is a tea drinker.
The last chapter of the book features a really cute short story "If Coffee Were My Boyfriend" written by Iwata but illustrated by The Oatmeal. It shows that coffee as a boyfriend is probably not the best thing.
There are a lot fun stuff in this little coffee table book which is sure to put a smile on a quite a few coffee lovers' faces.
