Book Description

November 21, 2005
Following the critical acclaim of his first book, The Miradors—Descensions of a Man, we arrive at Toolkit in Paradise, a decade of the best in American seriocomic reportage. Finally, we have “the last thing we thought we’d ever need in the last place we thought we’d ever need it.” Fine-tune your wit and wisdom, laugh until it hurts, and cry until it hurts less as you travel through these painfully funny passageways to our most intimate inner selves—from the domestic front to the world stage—and beyond. And, yes—you CAN take them with you when you go.

5.0 out of 5 stars I dare you not to laugh!, December 1, 2005

This review is from: Toolkit in Paradise: The Self-Helpless Guide to a Decade of American Wit & Wisdom (Paperback)
I've been a Sherman's Marcher for over a decade and started laughing before I even opened his newest, Toolkit in Paradise. Now, I can't stop laughing. His isn't just a talent, it's a gift.

Buy it, read it, love it ... and then pass it on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Humorous Great Read, December 1, 2005
By 
This review is from: Toolkit in Paradise: The Self-Helpless Guide to a Decade of American Wit & Wisdom (Paperback)
A New Englanders view of our world through coke bottle glasses. There is humor in every situation and B. Elwin Sherman personifies a modern Mark Twain comedian. Refreshing and sometimes sarcastic views on everyday situations combined with wit and satire leave you thinking, "I wish I'd thought of that". Funny and fun, a good read.
