5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Collection of Short Stories!, May 16, 1999
By A Customer
McLean is the winner of the 1999 Stephen Leacock award for humour in writing. This book is one of his earlier works, but his ability as a writer is discernable throughout, and it is just as good as his later works. It is a series of writings collected from Stuart McLean's radio show on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Radio One (available in RealAudio on the Internet; check out www.cbc.ca for details), a list of stories that revolve around a family of four from Toronto.

McLean has a wonderful ability to make the characters come alive in his stories, while at the same time commenting on modern Canadian and North American culture. A woderful read, guaranteed to make anyone with a moderate sense of humour laugh out loud.

Also, note that this book is not out of print, it is merely published in Canada.

4.0 out of 5 stars I could have died laughing, February 21, 2002
By Sheila W. Lummis (Riverside, CT USA) - See all my reviews
I was tootaling along in my car listening for the first time to an audio tape of Stuart McLean reading his Stories from the Vinyl Cafe. I almost ran off the road because I was laughing so hard.

Every time I hear the story of the jock strap I start to howl all over again. And so it is with so many of his stories.

I want to send the tapes to my children and friends and particularly, my enemies. I am sure they will not think so badly of someone who sent them such merriment.[...]

5.0 out of 5 stars Witty, charming, down to earth, April 18, 1999
By A Customer
Stuart McLean's Stories from the Vinyl Cafe, from his CBC radio show of the same name, is light, witty, down to earth, and an absolute delight to read. Especially for Canadians. You'll recognize the many Canadianisms in his stories, including references to summer jobs at Jasper Park Lodge. I'm loving it!
