Is 2012 our last year of existence? Is a killer planetary object on a collision course with Earth? What is the Mayan doomsday prophecy and should I go ahead and get one of those sweet car loans with a balloon payment in 2015?

The latest book in the acclaimed Pocket Guide series by Jason Boyett, Pocket Guide to 2012 turns its historically funny eye toward the 2012 doomsday phenomenon. Equally snarky and illuminating, it explores the history of mankind's end-times obsession, the origins of the 2012 prophecy, and explains all the horrible things that will probably (not) lead to the extinction of humanity on December 21, 2012.

Pocket Guide to 2012 is available as an 88-page PDF e-book ONLY. This is an advance readers' copy. It has not yet released to Kindle, Nook, or iBooks.
