Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The official spider test.

What do you do when you see one of these?
a. Lay on a BIG spidey smoocheroo.
b. Smile, but back away slowly.
c. Grab the closest object and aim it at the spider.
d. Run away screaming.
If you chose b, c, or d, then this book is for you! (If you chose a, you might be crazy.)
I'm Trying to Love Spiders will help you see these amazing arachnids in a whole new light, from their awesomely excessive eight eyes to the seventy-five pounds of bugs a spider can eat in a single year! And you're sure to feel safer knowing you have a better chance of being struck by lightning than being fatally bitten by a spider. Comforting, right?? No? Either way, there's heaps more information in here to help you forget your fears . . . or at least laugh a lot!
