<DIV><B><I>New York Times</I> Bestseller: This anthology of Erma Bombeck&rsquo;s most memorable and humorous essays is a tribute to one of America&rsquo;s sharpest wits.</B></DIV><DIV><BR /> When she began writing her regular newspaper column in 1965, Erma Bombeck&rsquo;s goal was to make housewives laugh. Thirty years later, she had published more than four thousand columns, and earned countless laughs&mdash;from housewives, presidents, and everyone in between.<BR /><BR /> With grace, good humor, and razor-sharp prose, she gently skewered every aspect of the American family. This collection holds the best of her columns&mdash;not just her famous quips, but also the heartbreaking observations that gave her writing such weight.</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV>In 1969, Erma wrote: &ldquo;screaming kids, unpaid bills, green leftovers, husbands behind newspapers, basketballs in the bathroom. They&rsquo;re real . . . they&rsquo;re warm . . . they&rsquo;re the only bit of normalcy left in this cockeyed world, and I&rsquo;m going to cling to it like life itself.&rdquo;<BR /><BR /> With what <I>Publishers Weekly</I> calls her &ldquo;infectious sense of human absurdity,&rdquo; Erma Bombeck&rsquo;s writing remains a timeless examination of the still-cockeyed world.</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erma Bombeck including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author&rsquo;s estate.</DIV>
