How to Kill Vol. 3

John Minnery

Paladin Press, CO. 1979. First printing paperback. Some minor creasing to front and rear cover, an excellent copy.

Proudly presented here is Vol. 3 of Minnery's "How to Kill" series. Documenting the many ways of "death by design", these books meticulously, often times hilariously, take us through the many methods of death that Minnery has perfected over the years in his role as "security consultant". Now one way say - does that mean Minnery might just be a psychotic mall cop, doodling ways to kill and maim criminals and vagrants? Possibly. We cannot know. 

The Rube Goldberg quality of many of these methods is hard to ignore. How many times has someone rigged a gun up to shoot the driver through the steering column? Has anyone really been killed by a car battery hooked up to a urinal? Would that even work? The methods are many, the illustrations insane, and the author, dubious at best.

"How to Kill" is a piece of American nihilist folk art that can't be ignored.
