Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book makes discovering informal fallacies (fallacies of content, rather than form) fairly simple...book is modeled after medieval bestiaries. Each fallacy is drawn as a caricature of a mythical beast.The beast is described, as well as its appeal. Then, the authors use anecdotes to show how each beast behaves "in the wild." Each "adorable fallacy" is discussed in a matter of just a few pages....Each fallacy is followed up with a few short discussion questions, and an opportunity to identify these beasts in the field"--Web review.
