Idiots guide or for dummies books?

Question

Which one's the best?, or which one do you prefer and based on what?

i thinkg the correct word is idiot's guide...

Batter up, you're and idiot, get a life... reported!

Answer 1

I've always preferred Idiots Guide, myself. They seem to be more informative, there are no cutesy-wootsey cartoons, and there is a wider variety of topics.

Answer 2

Hmm, I guess it would depend to some extent on which you are: an Idiot or a Dummy.
Just kidding. I've used both on various subjects, and, overall, I think the "Idiots" series is a little better: more clearly written, more inclusive, more, well, simple - for simple people such as myself.

Here's a funny article:
"An Idiot's Guide To Dummies
By Stanley Bing
September 15, 2003
(FORTUNE Magazine) – In the beginning, there were Dummies. Dummies who needed instruction in everything, from anthropology to cooking to philosophy to zoology. Dummies who were convinced of their insufficiency in the face of the demands of civilization--and they were right! Thus, books for Dummies were born.
But the story doesn't end there. Because right behind those Dummies were folks who were just as vague, uninformed, uneducable, and rightfully insecure as Dummies, but who were reluctant to admit they were part of that populous group. These, of course, were Idiots. And it came to pass that a whole other series of books was necessary to help these Idiots face the rigors of daily life.
So here they are, Idiots and Dummies, hungry for information that will aid them in the job of living less stupidly. But what is the biggest problem that faces every Idiot, every day? That's right! What to do about Dummies. For Dummies are everywhere. And we Idiots need to know how to deal with them.

Answer 3

I love the Pilates for Dummies.

Answer 4

I find that the Idiots guide is easier to understand for all who may want to read it.

Answer 5

I think they're both about the same, as are the KISS (Keep it Simple, Stupid) books. But something about the titles (idiot? dummy? stupid?) annoy me, so I don't read them.

Answer 6

They are both generally good. Since different authors do all of the titles, depending on what the topic is either one could be better.

Answer 9

i think the dummies book is more better
