Warnings-they're everywhere. On toys. On hair dryers. On compact discs. On take-out coffee cups. Almost everything for sale today comes with a warning. Why? Now, most people have enough common sense not to take a bath with an electric blender, but thanks to a few morons out there who sued big companies and won huge settlements, products now come with warnings that treat consumers like a bunch of slack-jawed yokels. So here's a collection of more than a hundred of the most ridiculous real warning labels on today's products. For example: CAUTION: DO NOT ON USE THIS HAMMER TO STRIKE ANY SOLID OBJECT. Such as, perhaps, the head of the idiot who came up with this warning in the first place? In addition, the book includes two dozen hilarious peel-off fake warning labels you can stick on real products to keep you, your friends, and your loved ones safe. Just don't read this book while driving a car or operating heavy machinery.

Duluth, the beautiful city at the head of the world's largest freshwater lake, has gone from boom to bust to boom and back again. In this richly textured urban biography, author Tony Dierckins highlights fascinating stories of the city: Its significance as the final stop in the Ojibwe's legendary westward migration. The failed copper rush along Lake Superior's North Shore that started it all. The natural port on the St. Louis River that made shipping its first and most important business. The legend of the digging of the ship canal. The unique aerial transfer bridge and its successor, the lift bridge. The city's remarkable park system. The 1920 lynching of three African American circus workers. The Glensheen murders. How Duluth has been dissed in popular culture. The evolution of the city's east-west divide. And throughout the years, the big lake and river have sustained Duluth's economy, shaped its residents' recreation, and attracted the tourists who marvel at the city's beauty and cultural life. Cities, like people, are always changing, and the history of that change is the city's biography. This book illuminates the unique character of Duluth, weaving in the hidden stories of place, politics, and identity that continue to shape its residents' lives.

Discover what Duluth has lost. Through over 400 photographs and sketches of vanished homes, buildings, landmarks, industries, and residential neighborhoods, Lost Duluth takes readers on a journey through the city’s past, introducing them to the people―from hard-scrabble pioneers to wealthy industrialists to impoverished immigrant laborers―whose ambitions and dreams built the Zenith City on a swamp and a rocky hillside at the head of the Great Lakes. A finalist for the Minnesota Book Award. “Duluth has always been a city like none other in the Midwest, with an architectural history as distinctive as its steep hills, rushing creeks and lakeside vistas. Lost Duluth offers a beautifully illustrated look at some of the city’s most prominent vanished buildings, from grand Victorian mansions and row houses to monumental works of public and commercial architecture. This book will make you pine for the city of old while opening your eyes to unimagined wonders, and even life-long residents will be surprised to find how much has been lost on the destructive road to progress.” ― Larry Millett, author of Lost Twin Citiesand Once There Were Castles

Inside these pages you will find 115 photos―most never before seen by the public―of Glensheen, the historic Congdon estate along the shore of Lake Superior in Duluth, Minnesota. Many of the images were captured in 1909, the year the Congdon’s moved in, and show Glensheen just as Chester Congdon first envisioned the 22-acre estate. Others show Glensheen in the 1920s, after Chester’s death, when Clara Congdon allowed much of the grounds to grow wild. Five percent of the publisher's sales of this book directly support Glensheen Historic Estate DISCOVER HISTORIC GLENSHEEN THROUGH PHOTOS OF: •More than half of the mansion’s 39 rooms, including the reception room, library, den, living room, dining room, breakfast room, and the bedroom of every family member •The boathouse, gardener’s cottage, and carriage house, as well as four greenhouses that have been lost to time •The estate grounds―including the stone bridge over Tischer Creek and the rustic wooden bridges that once traversed the creek and Bent Brook―and beyond to Congdon Park
