Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Dust jacket has small repair top back edge, otherwise without flaw. 6 X 9" 140 pages. Henry Root, who made a fortune in wet fish, spent ten years in correspondence with powerful and famous people across Britain. The Henry Root Letters' were published in 1980. The millions who enjoyed the original 'Root' will no doubt have assumed that such a public and hysterical scam could never be repeated. This time around Root has written an appalling soap opera about the decline of moral standards in modern Britain and put together a new volume crammed with letters to famous actors, directors and other worthies up and down the land. His letters, full of alleged scandals and hanky panky, are taken perfectly seriously by their recipients whose responses are as funny as Root's own rantings. **Bundle Up & Save On Postage**.
