Book Description

September 1, 1995
When turning the other cheek just won't do, try fighting back with the cantankerous remarks of some of the crustiest, grouchiest, and cleverest curmudgeons of all time. Profiles of three world-class wordsmiths--Alexander Woollcott, Oscar Wilde, and Robert Benchley--plus interviews with a variety of caustic commentators make this a collection of barbed remarks second to none.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't let the title fool you, April 3, 2009
This review is from: Return of the Portable Curmudgeon (Paperback)
This book is nothing but a re-issue of The Portable Curmudgeon Redux with the title changed for some reason. Small print at the bottom of the front cover tells one this, but it is curiously not shown on the illustration at Amazon.com.

I was suckered by this action ---- DON'T LET YOURSELF BE SIMILARLY FOOLED!
