Awesome little book

My fiance and I love the webcomic, so I made sure to buy this as soon as it came out. It is pretty hilarious! it has some comics from the web series, but it also has new comics.

The only downside is that the pages are pretty thin and cheap, but not enough to bring it down in stars.

Perhaps T-Rex should try and read this book, sadly, I don't think that he can.

love!

I love this little book so much. My husband and I are huge fans of the T-Rex Trying tumblr, so I ordered a copy of the book as a gift for him. Every page is hilarious, and there's something really great about seeing it all together and on paper.

Book appears used!

When I received my books the cover and a few of the pages had dirty smudges on them. The pages also appear to have gotten damp and dried a tad curly. I usually wouldn't care as much, but I bought it as a gift. I feel bad gifting something that looks used. Disappointed with this seller though the book content is cute and exactly what I was hoping for.

Super funny book, but definitely aimed at adults

This book is definitely adult humor (but not in a censored way) and has many more pages than anticipated. We purchased it as a gift for our nephew, however my brother is getting way more fun from it for now!

Perfect coffee table book

This book is hysterical. Perfect for your coffee table. I had found it in an Amazon store originally and had been thinking about it ever since. each page is an illustration of a T Rex trying to do something, with a caption. They have short arms, big bodies, big heads etc - so basically everything for them is awkward and comical.
