Friends: are cheaper than therapy

Based on her bestselling range of greetings cards, Cath Tate bring you her unique take on friendship, with vintage illustrations accompanied by witty and insightful text. In the realm of amusing, deadpan greetings cards, Cath Tate is the original and best. In her thirty-year career she has created thousands of witty, original and often subversive cards, featuring grim-faced old ladies, ludicrously dressed 1920s gentlemen and bizarre-looking children, paired with text that perfectly captures her highly individual and devastatingly funny view on the world. This hilarious book – a perfect gift for a beloved friend – brings together the best of Cath's work on friendship. Whimsical, scurrilous and – very occasionally – tender, it is packed with insights into today's modern friendships, from belligerent bookclubs to over-enthusiastic drama queens to ridiculous hen parties. After all, as Cath says, 'A friend is someone who likes you even though they know you.'
