More About the Author
Beloved for her wry yet warm look at family life, Erma Bombeck was America's favorite humorist at the time of her death in 1996. Ten of her 13 books, including Forever, Erma, appeared on the New York Times best-seller list. She claimed her first fiction writing was the weather forecast in the Dayton Herald. Her favorite food was pasta, and her hobby was dust.

Four of A Kind Funny,
This review is from: Four of a Kind: A Suburban Field Guide (Hardcover)
Ms. Bombeck hits home with her housewife humor. From the legality of family vacations to stepmother's with bad PR, Bombeck keeps her readers laughing through tears and every emotion in between. A great book to include in any true Bombeck fans library. Ms. Bombeck will be dearly missed in her absence.

Vintage Erma as her best,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Four of a Kind: A Suburban Field Guide (Hardcover)
There is a reason an entire generation of young mothers now refer to her as "Saint Erma." She made "real life" cool. She taught us to laugh at ourselves while embracing the wonderful ordinariness of everday living and loving. This collection is among the best of the "Erma works" and anyone who is a fan, or soon to be, will enjoy this valuable collection of Bombeck wit.

If you love Erma, you'll want to read it all,

This review is from: Four of a Kind: A Suburban Field Guide (Hardcover)
Younger Erma fans may have missed these older books by our most prolific female humorist, and this is a great way to get them all.
