JASON SCHNEIDER - Another Quirky Book

Jason Schneider's most recent illustration contribution is to the newly released best selling author Joshua Piven's book "Bad Vs. Worse" published by Penguin Books Ltd.

This is Joshua's second book from his "The Worst Case Scenario Handbook" series. This new book is a survival guide for making more of those "lose-lose" decisions in our modern world. It's a must read for those who need the pro's and con's in deciding who to choose to cater your next party. Ninjas or Neanderthals? Or, decide which would you rather have as a house pet, Jaws or Godzilla? Joshua gives you the low down.
