Cheat?
ME?
Never!!!
Well, except that one time...

Who says you should always tell the truth? With this handy informational guidebook you can con your way through life — from finessing your resume, to lying about your age, to getting a date. Whether you've decided to cheat out of sheer desperation or the need to get ahead, The Art of Cheating provides essential tips and guidelines for how to be the ultimate swindler, and how to spot the con artists among us. You'll learn what it takes to be a great cheater, and the pros and cons to every swindle. As a newly minted master of deception, you'll be able to cheat:

  • On a diet
  • On your spouse or significant other (or both!)
  • On your taxes
  • On standardized tests
  • Death
  • And more!
With clever illustrations and humorous deadpan delivery, The Art of Cheating will have you sleeping your way to the top, faking an illness, and forging someone else's handwriting — without batting an eye.

Synopsis:

Uniquely illustrated and packaged, this book is a tongue-in-cheek but useful guide to scheming in just about every way possible, from cheating on taxes — or a spouse — to escaping death and more.
