I stumbled across this book in a Chapters recently. One might think it was in the children’s section, or the “easy reading” section; no, it was in the “reference” section. I wish I were kidding, but it was sitting right beside an 800+ page book with a name like “A Comprehensive History of Formula One Racing.”
I’m sure there are a million more jokes that I’m missing, here, but you, our commenters, are far funnier than I am. Away you go!

Who did they put on the cover of the F1 book?

I like how the "pop up book" is entombed in plastic wrap, so you can't sit skew-legged on the floor, mouth agape, mind filling like a sponge from so much of the wondrous information contained inside.
The overlords at Chapters are keeping their information close to the vest!
Note to the reader: I'm pretty sure "Chapters" is canuckistani for "Borders", and may have something to do with the mysterious word "Indigo". It may be time for a cross-border fact-finding expedition for make benefit glorious Nascar Nation.-
I believe, if I recall, that Chapters bought Indigo a few years ago; I could be wrong though.

You recall correctly, Indigo, Chapters and Coles are all under the same Chapters/Indigo banner.

in all fairness….. people, and especially kids, destroy pop-up books by handling them roughly.
FWIW, my favorite childhood book (which I still have tucked away in the attic)…. Richard Scarry's "Cars and Trucks and Things That Go"

DUDE! No shit, I have that book! I picked it up free from a library a few years ago who was having a book sale… they would have random stuff in a free box… I grabbed this quick like along with a book entitled "How to enjoy youe Boston Terrier"… no, I don't have a Boston Terrier, but who wouldn't need that addition to their library?

You must be of a certain age. That was my favorite book, too.

Seems like a simple way to convey the rules in an appropriate medium.
