What I Know About Germans – The Book!
by James Glazebrook
What I Know About Germans is based on our insanely popular blog post of the same name, which generated over 40,000 Facebook Likes, 600 blog comments, coverage by the likes of Bild and Financial Times Deutschland – and enough traffic to crash our servers on more than one occasion! A lovingly compiled collection of an Australian writer’s hilarious observations about her adopted beloved countrymen, What I Know About Germans has been brought to life as a beautiful book, available in both print and eBook versions.
Want to see what we’re so excited about? Take a peek inside…
What I Know About Germans: 101 Observations has been a year in the making, and is the result of a lot of hard work from a small but dedicated team. We’re indebted to author Liv Hambrett in particular for allowing us to publish her post in the first place, for writing new and improved observations for the book, and for being the unofficial WIKAG cheerleader while we pull it all together. I’d also like to thank Josh Bauman, whose awesome illustrations really bring Liv’s words to life, Eric for producing our impressive What I Know About Germans web page, Sharmaine, Evi and the epubli team for their help and support – and of course Zoë for beautifying everything with her boundless design talent! Group hug 😀
Anyway, enough of my gabbing. To find out more about the book, and to pick up a copy, visit the What I Know About Germans: 101 Observations page now!



Little, sortof, Anecdote to back you first point:
I’m 1.90m (6″2′) In the US I’ve hardly been with anyone taller in a same room. Back here in Germany I was supprised when I walked into a high school a I saw 15 year olds taller than me.
Hi there – very interested in the book for my mom who will be coming to stay with us in Germany for two months. But I can’t seem to find the actual purchase link on this site!? Is there one? What am I missing? I really wanted to support the author/publishing house directly but have become so frustrated trying to find the direct purchase link, I might have to revert to amazon :/ Regardless, the book looks great 🙂
