Free Books: Worst Case Scenarios

Chronicle Books recently sent us a few selections from their iconic Worst-Case Scenario series of instructional books to give away to our readers. The pocket-sized guides are humorous, appear to be factually accurate, and just may come in handy some day. Titles that we’ll be handing out include:

The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Extreme Edition (sample advice: How to survive if you are buried alive)
The Worst-Case Scenario Almanac: Politics (sample advice: How to work a receiving line during flu season)
The Worst-Case Scenario Pocket Guide: Dogs (sample advice: How to get rid of skunk odor on your dog)
The Worst-Case Scenario Pocket Guide: New York City (sample advice: how to swim across the East River)

If you’d like to be the proud owner of one of these handsome values at no cost to yourself, leave us a comment that includes your preferred volume(s). We’ll pick four winners next week to take home the booty.

Worst-case scenario: you don’t win – Free advice can be had at The Worst is Yet to Come – the Worst-Case Scenario blog.

The two that interest me the most are:
1. The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Extreme Edition
2. The Worst-Case Scenario Almanac: Politics

Thanks for the nice opportunity!

I would like The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Extreme Edition as California is undergoing a rapid economic melt-down and it may come in handy!

I’ll take any of of them except the Extreme Edition — each of the others might actually prove handy as a dog-owner who often visits NYC and has to act all political and whatnot. Worst case scenario I suppose I’ll accept the Extreme Edition.

I don’t have a dog or live in New York and I hate politics, so I guess the Extreme edition is the one for me!

We’re heading up to NYC in a few weeks, but I do have a fear of being buried alive. I don’t really like my dog. I don’t know, surprise me.

Preferred volumn would be Worst Case Scenario Extreme Edition but they all look cool.

I love the Worst Case Scenario guides but for some reason I only see them at my female friends places. Why is that? Are they particularly marketed toward women?

I would like the Pocket Guide:Dogs as a gift for my sister – she should have this just in case.
