The Painspotter's Guide to Broken Britain 50

With recent setbacks in the financial system, politicians and policy-makers, the housing market, and jobs, The Painspotting Handbook provides an amusing insight into the worldwide recession. This handbook explores fifty hilarious caricatures and descriptions of people who emerged from the recession. Through a humorous approach, the book goes into detail on characters like the Enthusiastic Estate Agent, the Overpriced-Property Developer, and The Cohabiting Divorcee. The Painspotting Handbook is just the antidote needed to take the crisis out of the credit crunch and rise out of the recession.

ANDREW HOLMES is someone who is deeply affected by everyone around him – mainly negatively, you understand. This is a man who deliberately fills up his glass so that it’s always half-empty, as it gives him something to complain about. When he is not scowling at people in the street, you will find him living in a bivouac in an ancient Hampshire forest, well away from the credit crunch.

DAN WILSON is trained as a transforming robot Jedi ninja and regularly scribbles over boundaries betwixt low and high brow art. A fan of decreating remolicious words, he has won innumerable awards for nothing special and hopes to achieve inter-spatial awareness sometime soon. Dan lives with his family in a post-postmodern treehouse, and plans on retiring to the Sea of Tranquility in the 25^{th Century.}
