Once thought of as harmless yard decorations, evidence is mounting that these smiling lawn statues are poised and ready to wreck havoc. The danger is real. And it's here. <br> Class 1 gnome-slayer and gnome defense expert Chuck Sambuchino has developed a proven system--Assess, Protect, Defend, Apply--for safeguarding property, possessions, and loved ones. Strategies include step-by-step instructions for gnome-proofing the average dwelling, recognizing and interpreting the signs of a gathering hoard, and--in the event that a secured perimeter <i>is</i> breached--confronting and combating the attackers at close range.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Just AWESOME...filled with delightfully demonic photographs of rampaging, blissful garden gnomes. This is a classic 'gift' book (just in time for Christmas) with eye candy pictures galore."<br>--This Garden Is Illegal blog, 9/29/10 <p/>"reminiscent of a 'Monty Python's Flying Circus' sketch, which is the highest praise I can bestow on a humor book."<br>--Carpe Geum blog, 9/26/10 <p/>"The book is written so straightforward that it seems believeable. And helpful. And--well, words fail me...the book is a hoot...[it] is perfect to display on a coffee table. Think of the fun you'll have when your guests notice it. Will they look around to see if diminutive creatures are sneaking up on them? Will they look at you as if you're totally nuts. At any rate, fun will ensue...The book would also make a great gift for a gardening enthusiast--especially if the gardener already has some garden gnomes. Or bundle the book with a garden gnome and let the recipient really wonder about you."<br><b>--</b>Peevish Pen blog, 9/23/10 <p/>Let's say your smiling lawn gnomes are plotting a home invasion.
