Felonious failures : stupid criminals from the files of the Darwin Awards

This hilarious mini collection from the best-selling Darwin Awards celebrates some awe-inspiring criminal errors, vividly portraying the finest examples of evolution in action Named in honour of Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, The Darwin Awards commemorate those who improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it.

With sales of over one million copies worldwide it is a publishing phenomenon which now takes its next logical evolutionary step with our new miniature editions.

When it comes to criminals, Darwin wades in the shallow end of the gene pool.

Witness the astonishing idiocy of the absent-minded terrorist who opens a letter-bomb returned for insufficient postage, or the thief who steals electrical wire without turning off the current, or the man who saws off his own leg to collect insurance.

This collection of cautionary tales proves that crime does pay - a genetic dividend!
