They have a leather bound/gold leaf edition of all 5 books of the "trilogy" at Barnes and Noble for around $25. Came really close to picking it up.

That was the first large book I ever read, and it influenced my entire life- from the way I think to my sense of humor.

"Sh*t My Dad Says" - Justin Halpbern.

"I Suck at Girls" is a nice follow up, if not as funny as Sh*t My Dad Says. Justin Halpern.
