From the Publisher:

Not only Dull, this very funny book includes Drinkers End, Souldrop, Cold Christmas, Twatt, Fryup and Womenswold, All of which are towns and villages with names just as peculiar as Six Mile Bottom, New Invention, Cults, Minions, New Deer, Old Deer. A wonderful, witty book containing 120 deadpan photographs of roadside signage of the most peculiar place names to be found in Britain.

Complete with a handy map to where these places can be found. Far from Dull also includes an index and etymology compiled by Dr Paul Cavill of the English Place-Name Society.
