Just bought "How to Survive 2012"
A review will be up in several weeks. I got it for 50% off at a local Borders. It's rather hilarious, especially the sources that Geryl sites in his "work."

And Canalaz why did you buy it? You know that 2012 is a hoax , did you have to waste you'r money just so we can see how bad it is , or make it a Precious artifact in 2013…

did you have to waste you'r money
It was a waste of money in more ways than one. Geryl claimed in 2007 that he would make it available free on the internet from 2010. I'm not aware that he's done so. Perhaps he's still some way short of his $1 billion survival group cash target.
2012pro is still pushing his books for sell and recently e-mailed about some 2012 pack with different books in it including his for a "discount price".

You actually bought that trash?
And by the way, I've heard somewhere that the Borders chain is going under. Is this true?
yup. That's why the book was so cheap. They also had his second book.

Sorry for the delay guys. I'm in the High Liability part of my training so I haven't had much time to work on that charlatans book, but I will get on it as soon as possible. The review will be fairly short since a good portion of the book deals with nonsensical fruit juice diets and anti-capitalist rhetoric.
anti-capitalist rhetoric.
I guess he sells his book and begs for money as a consequence of his messianic delusions.
I like the artifact idea :-D
Any new construction in your area? It would be a hoot to put it in a time capsule!
Sorry for such a late reply. I did a short review on the book several months ago. There's not too much to say about it really. I believe Patrick Geryl's doomsday is actually a manifestation of his life failures. There's a video on youtube by a Dutch Filmmaker documenting his life. All of the sci-fi comics, fruit juice diet and economical principles that Geryl had are featured in that film. His ideas of diets and life-styles are perpetuated in the fantasy post-cataclysmic life that Geryl thinks he will live through. What would give him an opportunity to get his ideas across? Massive loss of life….and a sick following of charlatans that will believe him to be some sort of Jesus like being.
Here's the video again:
How big and heavy is this book roughly? Would it have any other uses, such as a doorstop, or paperweight for example? Or could the pages be ripped out and used if you run out of loo paper?

Apparently if you rip out a few pages and sit it a certain way on your head it makes a pretty decent hat.

How strange, I was just this minute thinking that Geryl should stick this book where the sun don't shine and alas, you've found a way of making that useful.
In all seriousness though, for the love of God don't give the little creep another penny by investing in this garbage.
The great thing about science is, it's true whether you believe in it or not.
There are some reviews on Amazon UK and Amazon USA.
I should point out that, in general, most Amazon reviewers give favourable reviews since they're not likely to buy a book they don't think they'll like in the first place or, finding they've made a bad choice, admit to having wasted their money. The proportion of bad reviews of this book is probably as high as I have seen for anything. One reviewer suggests that copies are likely to be available from rubbish bins because that's where anyone who reads the book is liable to put it.
Maybe I'll wait till January, and get a copy for $.99 at the dollar store…be great to share with my gr-grandchildren!
