Long out of print, but rarely out of use, Dr Thackery T. Lambshead's legendary guide to exotic illnesses and afflictions has been essential reading for students of the bizarre and unusual in medicine for years. Now everyone can wonder at conditions like Ballistic Organ Syndrome, Jumping Monkworm and Diseasemaker's Croup, and rejoice that they don't suffer from any of them. Marvellously entertaining dip-in spoof guide to exotic fictional illnesses and afflictions, with over eighty entries contributed by fifty-eight writers, including the editors themselves and Steve Aylett, Neil Gaiman, David Langford, China Mieville, Michael Moorcock and Brian Stableford.
