My Humorous Photographic Egg Book

Egg book

I’ve just published, Not Eggxactly What You Eggspected. It is my humorous perspective on eggs. It was all done with photographs and photoshop and is great for some laughs. Some of the titles are The Egglectric Chair, The Real story of Hansel and Gretel, Dental Eggxamanation, the rare emu goldfish, and many others. There are a total of 62 photos in the book. Here are a few of the photos.

If you’re interested in getting your own copy, visit http://www.flyinggreetings.com, and you’ll see the book at the bottom of the category list. Thanks.
