An excerpt from the book, a letter from a young Jake to his parents from Buxton Ridge Military Academy


The book is similar in lay out to the 1993 Beavis and Butt-Head book "This Book Sucks" it even has the same town overviews, childhood pictures section and the character introduction pages are also similar.

Also the "Daria Database" is similar to the Beavis and Butt-Head EnSUCKlopedia most notably in the fact that everything is in alphabetical order and with little notes at the top half commenting on the articles.
