Beschreibung
As new condition white boards/blue spine/gold front cover facsimile author signature and gold spine lettering contained in a near fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Andy Rooney; Author Dedication; and Preface: Readers Read, Writers Write. The lower rear jacket edge is somewhat crinkled; the jacket is otherwise in fine condition. " 'A writer's greatest pleasure is revealing to people things they knew, but did not know they knew,' writes Andy Rooney. For close to three decades, on television and in his newspaper columns and books, Rooney has been sharing with us his explorations of the pleasures and frustrations of everyday life, his celebrations of the uncelebrated and his skewerings of pomposity. They have made him one of our most enduringly popular commentators, a man of wit, rue and common sense who talks to us about what drives us crazy, what brings us joy, and what makes us human. Representing the finest of his newspaper essays from the last three years, the 126 pieces in his new book offer delightfully independent observations on everything from politicians, perfume and the post office to birthdays ("Someone said to me, 'I see you celebrated your birthday yesterday. 'Wrong. I HAD a birthday yesterday"), doctors, Darwin, clothes, keys, football ("Sometimes I hope a team wins so much that you'd think it really mattered"), fund-raising, bodybuilding, hotels, handymen, temptation and the ten statements we seem to be hearing more and more often from Congress (from #1, "There is absolutely no truth whatsoever to this rumor," to #10, "I have decided that I will resign in order to spend more time with my family"). Sweet and Sour is a book of pure reading pleasure." - from the inner front jacket flap. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 005631
