The Perfect Man

Just when women were ready to give up on their collective quest for the perfect man, he surfaced in 1989. That year, The Perfect Man began as a successful poster series. Since then it's grown into a megasuccessful, multiproduct franchise that has sprung everything from mugs, key chains, and stickers to T-shirts, calendars, cookies, and now, for the first time, a hardcover book.

This hilarious 96-page book features clever full-color photos topped with three surefire reasons why the man pictured is "the perfect man."

• "He's quiet. He's sweet. And if he gives you any grief, you can bite his head off." The Perfect Man-a gingerbread man.
• "He's young. He's cute. And he'll always come crawling back to you." This Perfect Man? Why, a baby, of course.
• "He's tall. He's thin. And if a cuter guy comes along, you can always leave him hanging." He's a hangman stick figure, alias the Perfect Man.
