11th July 2019: Haynes has added two timely new parody books to its ever-popular Haynes Explains series. The two new brilliantly observed manuals, which look at 'Holidays' and 'Rugby', are based on a strip-down and rebuild of a particular 'model'.

Each manual features a wide-array of tongue-in-cheek information for the reader to digest, discuss and enjoy. The books come packed full of exploded views, flow charts, 'fault diagnosis' and the occasional 'wiring diagram'.

According to ABTA, 60% of the UK population took a foreign holiday in the last year - the highest figure since 2011 - but with Brexit looming, how many of us have chosen a staycation this summer? Haynes Explains Holidays offers an amusing look at everything from choosing the right type break and booking online, through to how to make budget flights bearable. It also offers a witty take on essential dos and don'ts for a range of holiday scenarios.

With excitement growing ahead of the Rugby World Cup in Japan and the season returning this Autumn, Haynes Explains Rugby provides a timely and jovial look at everything from rugby player positions in the 'Model Range' section, through to dissecting key international rugby events such as the Six Nations tournament and Rugby World Cup. It also touches on 'Famous Models', which looks at famous players from over the years.

Written by international best-selling author Boris Starling, the Haynes Explains series make for the ideal gift thanks to his amusing spin on Haynes' inimitable style. Each title retails at £6.99 and adopts a light-hearted, entertaining take on the classic workshop manual.

To date, over 500,000 copies of the best-selling Haynes Explains series have been sold. Other titles in the extensive range include Babies, Marriage, Pensioners, Teenagers, The British, The Americans, Christmas, Pets, The French, The Germans, Football, and The Home.
