A co-worker of mine strongly recommended "White Trash Etiquette" on a recent business trip, and was kind enough to let me borrow his copy. I read it cover-to-cover in my hotel room, and spent a good chunk of time chuckling at Dr. Verne's musings on life. This is a very, very funny book. It's quite original -- I've seen nothing like it. Dr. Verne shares his wisdom on all sorts of funny issues ranging from scams to sports to love. Dr. Verne's take on life is downright hilarious. This is a great book for a cover-to-cover read, or for someone who just has bits of time and wants to have a quick laugh. This book will definitely put a smile on your face.

This book was really funny and a good relaxing read. Especially if you like the Blue Collar Comedy Tour.

Tune out the world and have just have fun reading this. It's a quick read, no deep meanings to uncover, simply for entertainment.

If you get serious about it, perhaps it unjustly ampifies and promotes stereotypical attributes of a real or imagined segment of our population.

So don't get serious.

It was written to Just Have Fun - in that I feel it was successful... unless your name is Chad :-)

I used to give my brother a "Darwin" book for Christmas every year; but this year I bought White Trash Etiquette,and he loved it! He had all our family members laughing throughout the holidays as he read us quotes from the book. Everyone wanted to know where I found it.

The book arrived in a timely manner, and brand new just as promised, I have read only excerpts as it will be a Christmas gift for a snobby person that has everything. Just reading parts of the book,however, made me laugh out loud, so I know it will be a hit...just may have to order one for myself...Thank-you

I am reading this book now and enjoying every minute of it! I'm from Tennessee and am certainly white trash.(Not a redneck)lol I found it to be very, very funny. I love the way he writes all redneckish and makes it lighthearted enough you don't feel offended. It's very amusing and i highly recommend it!

White Trash Etiquette is absolutely the funniest book I've read in a long, long time. Do not read in Dr. offices, planes, etc, less the public around you might wonder! It is laugh out loud humor. Edstrom is a genius for the fact he writes exactly like some people talk-which is not an easy task!

If you like humor, don't miss this one. Personally, I hope he's working on another book soon to be published!

I sent this to my boyfriend's 30-year-old daughter to commemorate her new job at Fantasy Gifts in Bloomington, MN. Nearly every chapter describes her perfectly, in a way I could not improve upon. She now understands how the rest of the world views her!

How do?

The name's Dr. Verne Edstrom, Esq. -- literary giant, petty thief, and self-help advisor to the stars. This here's my book.

I wrote it to help all yous trash out there. Say you got an important question, like how to make your fourteen-year-old cousin unpregnant, or who you should kidnap if you're aiming to impress a woman. You think you're gonna ask Dr. Laura about that? Her face would explode and her makeup would catch fire. Pretty soon you burned down eleven states, but you still don't know who you're supposed to abduct.

Me, I was figuring to help folks rise up from under the viaduct so's they could do better robberies, get themselves more marriages, and start living the life of luxury in a nice doublewide where the heat always works and the cupboards is always filled with liquor and ammo.

And if you ain't buying that explanation, here's a better one: I got eight or ten kids. Seeing as how the missus is built like an ore boat, the smart money says she's good for a half-dozen more. So if you don't buy my book, I don't get no money, which means eight to ten kids is gonna be loose on the streets, stealing your car stereo.

And any moron knows a book is cheaper than a car stereo. That's just good financial thinking.
