Bad Arguments–an illustrated book of
While reading another excellent post from Kailash Awati, aka K, of Eight to Late fame and following the usual cascade of excellent reference material, I came across a little gem of a book called An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments.
An excellent read and refresher on poor argument strategies and tactics.
Enjoy, you’re welcome! ![]()
By the way, K’s book The Heretic’s Guide to Best Practices is also a winner; I bought it and read it and also recommend it. If I wasn’t so busy trying to earn a crust I would provide a summary.

Hi Glyn,
First up, many thanks for supporting the Heretic’s Guide, and for the shout out. Much appreciated!
Regarding The Book of Bad Arguments – it’s so readable that it would make a perfect text for a high school or first year university-level course on logical fallacies.
Regards,
Kailash.
