Book Hero thinking about your next read

- Unofficial and Unauthorized- Everyone loves The Dude, the shaggy, laid-back burnout from The Big Lebowski, so memorably brought to life by Jeff Bridges. But what if this hapless figure somehow found his way into a completely different movie, perhaps from another era?

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

"A great stocking filler for the slacker in your life" - Scottish Daily Record

As featured on the Dudeism Facebook group

- Unofficial and Unauthorised -

You know The Dude. As the hapless hero of the Coen brothers' 1998 comedy, The Big Lebowski, this shaggy, laid-back burnout (memorably brought to life by Jeff Bridges) has become something of an unlikely pop culture icon. The kind of fella everyone can admire, if not necessarily aspire to.

While he's most definitely a pacifist at heart, The Dude is not a man to sit idly by when a couple of thugs ransack his home and steal his most prized possession - his rug. Only trouble is, on his quest to find it, he seems to have gotten a little lost himself. What if this hapless figure somehow found his way into a completely different film, perhaps from another era?

Spot our hero as he ambles his way through the sets of 12 iconic movies in Where's the Dude?, a search and find activity book produced with indie film magazine Little White Lies. The colourful and chaotic movie sets are brought to life by illustrator Sharm Murugiah.

See if you can spot The Dude (and his rug) in all 12 scenes, then go back and look for the famous faces, props and characters connected to each film.

Perfect for fans of seek and find activity books such as Where's Wally?

The Dude abides...

Movie sets included:

Titanic, Apocalypse Now, The Wizard of Oz, Kill Bill, Rocky, Jaws, Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, Ben-Hur, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Planet of the Apes, Four Weddings and a Funeral, The Grand Budapest Hotel

This book has been produced with indie film magazine Little White Lies. Combining cutting-edge design, illustration and journalism, bi-monthly print magazine Little White Lies is the leading indie film magazine. It has been described as being 'at the vanguard of the independent publishing movement.'
