Delightful. A collection of thirty drawings by Peake illustrating various proverbs. The proverbs themselves are listed in the back, so the book can be used for gameplay.

Caricature drawings of various figures of speech. Most of the figures of speech are rather dated to the early-21st century ear, so this collection will be of most interest to Peake completists or to wordplay geeks. (Some significant overlap there, I'd guess.)
