I've read it too (kinda!), July 12, 2000
By A Customer
After hearing about this book, for years I was intrigued as to how anyone could possibly write a page, much less a book, without the letter "e". Finally I found a copy (in the rare book room of New York City's main library!) and by jove, the man did it! (As the reviewer below notes, the introduction does include the letter e - which the author humoursly notes might be cheating the whole enterprise. He also tells us the e's, after gathering around but never getting to enter the pages, sulk off cyring back something like "that's a fine yarn you'll have without *us* arround!"). I only had time to read a bit of the book before the library closed, but it seemed a fun young adult-type book written by a warm man who had a stroke of genius. Hats off and get this thing back in print!
