Ever been late? Steve has. Lots. But he always has a good excuse. Here are 101 real corkers for you to enjoy. And maybe even borrow... * Distracted by a surprisingly complicated Kinder toy* Overcome by the urge to alphabetise my pets * Forgot how trousers work* Became temporarily feral* Got stuck in a romantic montage Why Steve Was Late is a book of hilarious (and even - occasionally - plausible!) reasons for tardiness, handily dreamed up and illustrated by someone else.

Christmas is an ethical and political minefield. Luckily, this survival guide contains valuable advice on how to navigate the hazards of the holiday season. Learn how to...* launch a scathing dinner table takedown on your woefully unwoke relatives* craft your own sustainable decorations that bring festive cheer without compromising the 2050 Paris Agreement* splurge on Black Friday without propping up the neoliberal capitalist agenda* build a body-positive snowperson that isn't a straight white male for once* skilfully avoid eating meat or dairy without it becoming a whole thing you have to justify for an hour.Whether it's a stocking filler for a left-leaning loved one, or a Secret Santa gift for a painfully earnest colleague, A Snowflake's Guide to Christmas is the perfect gift for anyone with a bleeding heart (and a sense of humour) this holiday season.
