5.0 out of 5 stars
This is a very funny book about A. Botts salesman,
By A Customer
This review is from: Alexander Botts: Great Stories from the Saturday Evening Post (Hardcover)
I read these stories as a child in the 50's and 60's in theSaturday Evening Post. I ordered this collection and they are funnierthan I remembered them. Since I got the book in June of 1999, about 10 friends have read the book and all loved it. Many people will start laughing out loud. One of the best series of short stories I have ever read. If you read this book, let me know what you think.

This review is from: Alexander Botts: Great Stories from the Saturday Evening Post (Hardcover)
This collection of short stories brings the ties of the past to the situations of today. Nothing changes. Alexander Botts is the greatest salesman in the world and a sure fire winner for all readers.

This review is from: Alexander Botts: Great Stories from the Saturday Evening Post (Hardcover)
While I do not have this *exact* edition of the Botts stories, I am happy to say I do have a 1962 "Best Of Botts" edition published by Pocket Books, New York. My late father was a salesman in the oil industry, and it is his battered copy I have in front of me now, having just unpacked the cartons of his possessions from his bequest to me. His experiences selling pumps, pipes and steel around the world were never as comic as those of the Ace Sales Manager for Earthworm, but he felt they were sufficiently relevant, and he re-read his paperback edition until it was ragged. Botts was one of his greatest pleasures, and as a small boy I read these stories too, and was delighted. Having just re-opened the book after thirty years, these stories are still delightful for their simplicity and humour. I love the Botts series, and I recommend any of the books to all readers who read shorts for fun.
