In this 152 page unique humorous monster, the subject is: following the Italian Government's decision to limit the number of tourists to Venice, for the protection of the City
from pollution and destruction, Pshht Cola and McBigBite build a second Venice beside the real one. In this "bigger and better" version of Venice, everything is false. Buildings are false replicas of their originals in Venice, museums have in them false replicas of the
original paintings; there is even a "False Films Festival" where the worst films of the world compete for a prize. Congresses, tourists, thieves, spies, gondolas that go on rails, dog-shows, mafia stories, world financial crisis all add a colorful and humoristic touch to this uniquely humorous book.

Its author Askin Ozcan says he has two desires about his humorous masterpiece:
One, to sell the book on the piazzas of Venice, saving it from the imprisonment on the shelves of bookstores; two, to have it translated into many languages. "I want the whole world laugh at this book!" he says.
