Big Man's World over 30 is overweight and overdone. "Big Man's World" is the perfect book for all those who are sick of 'keeping up appearances', the ideal manual for letting down gracefully (or disgracefully). It's a book for men who want to stop pretending to like theatre and stay at home and watch the footy, to let their guts hang out the way nature intended, to shun all forms of vegetarianism and woo woo, to find and set free the caveman lurking within. "Big Man's World" takes us back to a simpler time when snags were for smothering in tomato sauce and when the men's movement were a bunch of blokes in a backyard, when eating six pies was a cause for celebration not alarm, and when quantity was vastly preferable to quality. Triple J's Mikey Robbins, co-author of the bestselling "Three Beers and a Chinese Meal", co-host of the top-rating "Breakfast Show", and star of "Good News Week" on the ABC, Steve Abbott aka The Sandman, author of the bestselling "Sandman's Advice to the Unpopular" and "This is my Surfboard" and star of radio and stage, and Tony Squires, one of the stars of Triple M's "Andrew Denton Show" as well as the perennially popular Saturday TV column in the "Sydney Morning Herald", have been friends for over twenty years and are the perfect candidates to write such a book (despite being somewhat reluctant to commit to anything that resembles work - but what can you expect of the exponents of a philosophy that extolls the virtues of sloth and procrastination? "Big Man's World" is an hilarious tribute to that last bastion of Untamed Australia: The Bloke. Lavishly illustrated with photographs, puzzles and illustrations by Michael Bell - example attached - "Big Man's World" will revolutionise the way men think about themselves and the way the world thinks about them; in this age of millennial change and shifting perceptions, it's good to know (and accept, ladies) that some things will never change. Steve, Mikey and Tony were all born in Newcastle and became friends during their no doubt troubled adolescences. They all gravitated towards the entertainment industry as the occupation least likely to demand hard work. All ended up in that strangely hip Eighties outfit, The Castanet Club before heaving themselves towards Sydney, where they are now mini-icons of the airwaves, radio being a unanimous choice for them because of the total lack of dress code involved. Mikey occasionally dons a suit for his appearances in 'McFeast' and 'Good News Week', but Steve and Tony are committed tracksuitpantsmen.
