About 2 weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to meet France Bozeman. He served with my grandfather during WWII. I can honestly say that he is just as interesting and entertaining in print as he is in person. This book is very humorous and informative. It kept my attention from start to finish. I would highly recommend it as a fascinating slice of Americana.

What a delightful trip back in time. Discover all of the benefits that are available to our wonderful letter carriers today and how they came about. This letter carrier, France Bozeman, was such an active memeber in the National Association of Letter Carriers that he was instrumental in providing some of the actual benefits that your letter carrier enjoys today. He mentions his many trips to Washington, D.C. to speak with the movers and the shakers about what was really happening in the local post offices and they really got involved.

You can read this book in one sitting and it is well worth it. You will become better informed and entertained at the same time. Mr Bozeman even includes his "famous" recipe for Barbecue Chicken and describes a cooking contest where he placed second. Now where can you find all of that in one small book?

Order this book or go to your local bookstore and purchase one for your letter carrier. They work very hard for you, and they would appreciate the gift.

Snail Mail versus Email is a rare treat. The book reads warmly and invites you to sit a spell as the story unfolds. It follows the experiences and humorous reflections of a small town mail carrier during the post World War II era. Before computers, electronic messaging and mail sorting machines, the men and women of the American Golden Age wrote, sorted and delivered mail with a neighbor's touch.

The pages walk you down the lane of the author's life, every stop along the way is a new story. The author describes everything from dealing with attack dogs, outsmarting contriving supervisors, to dealing with politicians while he was working to reform the system. And with the wit of a grandfather storyteller, he leaves the reader trying to decide which is worse!

While some might object that the book has little to do with Email, I think they're missing the point. The book is about working people in the pre-electronic age. I can't think of a grandparent or anyone with a grandparent who wouldn't enjoy Snail Mail.
