Signed and inscribed by Jody Delzell. Octavo, softbound (slick, full-color photo. illustrated stiff wrappers), 250 pp. Fine. From Foreword (Directions on How to Read This Book): Most books come with a 'foreword' which sort of explains what it's all about. This one comes with "directions" because it is not your everyday run-of-the-press publication. First of all, it's already been written, item by item, over a period of about 50 years. It consists of selections from thousands of newspaper columns I have penned on many subjects over the years -- most of them in a humorous vein, but a few dead serious. I hope readers can distinguish the difference. A word of caution! Since these newspaper columns were published over a long period of time, they may not relate to current events or situations. They are not arranged in chronological order or along timelines or dates. What may be the best feature of this book is you can read a complete column while waiting to see your doctor, waiting for cookies to bake, or while visiting the comfort facilities of your own home. You don't have to read it in one sitting -- no pun intended. There are no characters to remember as in a novel. The essays will wait for you. It will make a delightful bedtime companion.
