The new cover has the girl doing the "ojo" gesture. Thanks, James Sorry, I got so riled up that I forgot to mention that the new publisher that now has legal rights to Che Boludo! is Edicion Magiart.

These two publisher have been culiandome shamelessly and are still selling my book illegally. In fact, when you look in the next edition of Che Boludo! you will find photos of the publishers Raul Izaguirre and Jorge Gurbanov next to the word GARCA. They are the kind of people that give Argentines a bad name!! the author, James Bracken Hola Gente,

Highly recommended to foreigners living in Argentina, but especially in Capital. A couple of my favourites: "Chivar como puto nuevo", "Un pelo de la concha tira mas que una yunta de bueyes", Afanar, Garron, Embole, and the list goes on... Saludos.

Between my in-laws and regularly playing Counterstrike on South American servers I was was already familiar with much that was in the book when I read last year. Since then I've reviewed much of it with my wife, her family, and our friends, they've all found it to be terribly funny when I read the more obscure phrases and ask for their definitions.
