How to Survive a Garden Gnome Attack: Defend Yourself When the Lawn Warriors Strike (And They Will)

I had no idea my gnome BFFs were going to kill me. I had been going about my silly life, never thinking their cheery faces were actually plotting my demise. They're clever little boogers. While this book did suggest a good amount of ways to protect yourself from these pointed hat wearing twerps, I simply used it to beat them away as they came at me. (: Problem solved. I do recommend this book to someone who likes gnomes, or someone who is looking for something to be paranoid about. (It does suggest the neighbors' gnomes are after you too, even if you don't own them yourself. Never go to bed thinking you're safe. NEVER.) It not only made me laugh like a goon while I was waiting at the DMV, but it was so epic that I had to order one for my fellow gnome-loving friend. It saved her life, too. Giggle at it or take it seriously, or maybe do a bit of both like I did -- it's worth the read.

This is a really creative and helpful book with great information and beautiful pictures. If you have a pesky gnome in the family or neighborhood, this just might be the answer to your prayers.

I bought this recently for my grandmother as a joke. My grandma hates gnomes and ever since she mentioned it to us a few years ago, we have jokingly kept buying gnomes and hiding them through her yard. My husband and I have since stopped doing that, but my mother and step father recently purchased several small ones and hid them all over her home for her to find. It's become a huge joke in our family and so when I saw this, I knew I had to get it for her. I told her it's to help her survive my mother and step father's gnome attacks. As for the book itself, I got a good chuckle out of what I read from it. It's a fun book to read and very humorous. I even had an author friend of mine remark that he wished he had thought of it!

A great gift for those family members ho have nomes in their yard.

After interviewing Chuck Sambuchino, I had to pick up a copy of this book. Let me tell you now, there is no better survival guide for pointed hat predators available. Sambuchino gives us step-by-step instructions on dealing with these vicious pipsqueaks, and his advice will leave you well informed and clutching your sides. I especially love the section on home defense and am in the process of constructing my own moat. This delightful little tome has a number of laugh-out-loud funny moments and is a quick read. The pictures really bring the guide together. You should pickup a copy of How to Survive a Garden Gnome Attack today, mostly because your life may depend on it. Following Sambuchino's method, you'll find out how at risk you are of a gnome invasion, and best of all you'll be able to take the necessary steps to prevent the buggers from assaulting your loved ones (and self!). Highly recommended for its wit and stunning photos. (4 Stars)

This was a gift and it was very well appreciated when it was given to the recipient. The book arrived without any damage and just flipping through it quickly before it was wrapped, it looks like a really cute book.

Okay so here's the deal. The BF likes gnomes. He really thinks they are cute and friendly. I mean it started with a gnome shirt and a zombie gnome. So I wanted to do something special for him. I got him a gnome for Valentines Day. I knew he'd like it. So going through this little bit of heaven called Amazon, I come across this book. I get a little shaken up cause I already ordered this gnome for the BF and then here is the real deal, true story of what gnomes are like. I get this book for the BF as well cause it seems he's blinded by them. When I got the book, I read it. My eyes were opened to what garden gnomes are REALLY up to. I see them everywhere now!! I sent this off to the BF with his gnome I got as well. I don't think he's read the book yet, but I did. I tried to convince him to read it because I now have the survival techniques to protect our home but I can't do this alone. I think the BF is in denial. But now I think he might be a gnome! Thankfully I have a Gnome bible to reference. I'll get to the bottom of this. Gnomesayin?

This clever little book will make anybody laugh!

Can't speak too loud, they are listening! Now, I known their evil plan, I am now, on guard... But, the gnomes in this garden, have, guns... Oooowww! Good laugh, if you're on a gmone state of most mind.

This was a gift and they loved it. It has some great humour. I did not get a chance to read it but from what I hear they are finding the book great. After all, you know those gnomes must be up to something.

Non guarderete più i nani da giardino con lo stesso sguardo. Utile per la preparazione ad una ecatombe prossima ma inevitabile. Noi siamo pronti e voi?

Thanks to this book I manage to save myself from gnomes, those demons won’t get Me!

A must read for those worried about imminent Garden Gnome attacks. Especially from the Neighbours gnomes, that have been looking at you strangely of late. It is Hilariously funny and very insightful.
