Some accounts trace the Unemployed Philosophers Guild's birth to Athens in the latter half of the 4th century BCE. Others argue it dates from the High Middle Ages. More recently, historians have pinpointed the birth of the Guild to New York City in the late 90s, when two brothers turned their inner creativity and love of paying rent towards fulfilling the people's needs for finger puppets, warm slippers, coffee cups, and cracking up at stuff. If you're unemployed, how come you have a job? We are employed, just not as philosophers. How did we get our start? Our origins are shrouded in mystery.

Review: Yup, that baby's misspelled, all right. - Another reviewer has correctly pointed out that "Lady Chatterley's Lover" is misspelled on this mug as "Lady Chatterly's Lover." I've not read the book in question (perhaps the person who put the name on the mug hadn't, either), but from what I've heard it's not a book that gets read for its spelling, so I can rock with it. I'd rather it was spelled correctly, and you need to know that the misspelling is not a "one mug aberration." It seems to be on all of them. But the colors are nice against the black of the mug, and there's a lot of dramatic interest in the way they twist around the surface of it. I gave this as a gift to an artsy friend, so those last two things were important to me. Nice quality mug, heavy and large, suitable for soup, cocoa, hot milk, or hot buttered rum. I don't think it's dishwasher safe, but coffee mugs aren't hard to wash, are they? Review: Great for Ph.D. candidate in History - Gave this to my niece's boyfriend who is getting his Ph.D. in history; added a note "May your books be radical enough to be banned someday." Very cool moment when he opened it. It's a great mug, well made, durable, with an excellent variety of book titles that have been banned in the past -- classics, masterpieces, works of art. Great gift. ## Features - The Banned Books Mug features the titles of 24 famously banned books, from Animal Farm to Ulysses. - The mug is black while the titles are written in colorful text, allowing you to easily read each name. - This 12 oz. ceramic coffee cup has a comfortable handle and comes in a beautifully designed, colorful box. - Microwave and dishwasher safe. - Click the store link near the product title for more smart and funny stuff from The Unemployed Philosophers Guild. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B007MOLSXK | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #415,644 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #13,141 in Novelty Coffee Mugs #56,666 in Glassware & Drinkware | | Brand | The Unemployed Philosophers Guild | | Brand Name | The Unemployed Philosophers Guild | | Capacity | 12 ounces | | Color | Black | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 547 Reviews | | Finish Types | Glossy | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00814229024804 | | Included Components | Handle | | Is the item microwaveable? | Yes | | Item Dimensions W x H | 3.75"W x 3.5"H | | Item Weight | 0.39 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | The Unemployed Philosophers Guild | | Manufacturer Part Number | FBA_2480 | | Material | Ceramic | | Material Features | Ceramic | | Material Type | Ceramic | | Model Number | 2480_SML | | Number of Items | 1 | | Occasion | Birthday | | Other Special Features of the Product | Microwave Safe | | Pattern | Letter Print | | Product Care Instructions | Microwave Safe | | Product Style | Modern | | Recommended Uses For Product | Home | | Reusability | Reusable | | Shape | Round | | Size | 12 Ounces | | Special Feature | Microwave Safe | | Specific Uses For Product | Hot Drinks | | Style | Modern | | Theme | Comic | | UPC | 814229024804 754970597106 606993934195 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** The Unemployed Philosophers Guild - **Capacity:** 12 ounces - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Ceramic - **Special Feature:** Microwave Safe ## Images ![The Unemployed Philosophers Guild Banned Book Coffee Mug - Colorfully Lists 24 Famously Banned Books, Comes in a Fun Gift Box, 12 oz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CWQQEgslL.jpg) ![The Unemployed Philosophers Guild Banned Book Coffee Mug - Colorfully Lists 24 Famously Banned Books, Comes in a Fun Gift Box, 12 oz - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71YA+Gh0T3L.jpg) ![The Unemployed Philosophers Guild Banned Book Coffee Mug - Colorfully Lists 24 Famously Banned Books, Comes in a Fun Gift Box, 12 oz - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91bNylLM6EL.jpg) ![The Unemployed Philosophers Guild Banned Book Coffee Mug - Colorfully Lists 24 Famously Banned Books, Comes in a Fun Gift Box, 12 oz - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81jrh9Qez0L.jpg) ![The Unemployed Philosophers Guild Banned Book Coffee Mug - Colorfully Lists 24 Famously Banned Books, Comes in a Fun Gift Box, 12 oz - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lB9UobdFL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What are your mugs made of?** A: All mugs made by The Unemployed Philosophers Guild are made from ceramic! **Q: How many ounces is this mug?** A: The Banned Book Mug holds 12 oz (350mL). **Q: Is this mug microwave and dishwasher safe?** A: Yes! **Q: What is included?** A: You'll receive the mug boxed in its colorful and fun gift box! **Q: What can I put in my mug?** A: Whatever your heart desires. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yup, that baby's misspelled, all right. *by L***S on September 15, 2013* Another reviewer has correctly pointed out that "Lady Chatterley's Lover" is misspelled on this mug as "Lady Chatterly's Lover."
