Hi. I see you’re reading the back of my book. This tells me that you either:
A) are hoping to find a brief summary of what to expect from a how-to book by Sterling Archer, the world’s greatest secret agent, or B) don’t know how books work.
If your answer was “A,” your best bet is probably the table ofcontents, which is where you’ll find the “contents” of this booklisted in a convenient, easy-to-read “table” format. So maybe gocheck that out for a minute and then come back here. I’ll wait. . . .
Pretty cool, right? What other book will teach you how to dressproperly and how to drive an elephant? How to field strip an AK-47and how to haggle with a Thai prostitute—in her native tongue? How to pilot an airboat and how to make about a million deliciouscocktails, including a Molotov one? How to kill a guy and how toprepare a fabulous brunch? Plus how to do tons of other stuff thatI forgot, but that is nonetheless probably in this book (which, to behonest, I really only kinda skimmed).
So if you want to learn more about how to be more—or at all—likeSterling Archer, the world’s greatest secret agent, quit smearing yourgreasy fingerprints all over this book and buy it. For one thing, I reallyneed the royalties. For another thing, the last time I checked, thiswasn’t a damn library.
(Note: If your answer was “B,” this probably isn’t the book you want to start with.)

If you're a big fan of Archer, you should definitely check out this book. It's filled with all sorts of references from the show, but also keeps it fresh with new insights from Sterling's world. The writing is as if the characters really did write this. Definitely read this. You won't be disappointed.

I'm a woman so none of this would apply to me even if I ever considered using any of Archer's techniques unless I twisted it to make it a feminine style. But it's a really really funny read, especially if you read the entire book with Archer's voice in your mind. I'm glad I chose to buy it.

If you like Archer, you'll LOVE this book! And if you don't, go chew on a poison dart frog. But Nook users beware... the electronic version is full of distracting punctuation errors (lots of commas that should be periods, vice versa, etc.) But the more egregious shortcoming is that all of the footnotes - quite numerous and hilariously essential to your true enjoyment of the subject matter - are relegated to the very end. Obviously it's impossible (or at least maddening) to keep flipping back and forth on an e-reader, so this is one you'll want to pick up in hard copy. Or soft copy, as the case may be...

Youll enjoy it. As long as you can imagine the whole thing in Archer's voice

I am a huge fan of this tv show so when I heard that there was a book I had to buy it. It was well worth the money! Full of the same humor as the show!

This was a pretty entertaining (and easy) read, but I'm also a big fan of the show. It is very true to the Archer character and you can hear his voice as you read the book. I don't think somebody that has never seen the show would get the humor. A must read for any Archer fan though.

I love me some Archer. If you love Archer you too should enjoy the book. About the first 1/3 of the book I was laughing so hard, and wanting to share just about every paragraph with friends and family. After that it started to drag on. By the end of the book, I was glad it was over.
