About the Book

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

About the Author :
Erma Bombeck (1927-1996) was one of the best-loved humorists of her day, known for her witty books and syndicated columns. In 1967, she published At Wit's End, a collection of her favorite columns. Bombeck would go on to write eleven more books, including The Grass Is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank (1976), If Life Is a Bowl of Cherries, What Am I Doing in the Pits? (1978), and Aunt Erma's Cope Book (1979). Her books were perennial bestsellers, and helped bolster her reputation as one of the nation's sharpest observers of domestic life. She continued writing her syndicated column until her death in 1996.

Review :
"During the 31 years in which Bombeck wrote more than 4,000 columns, an entire generation was born, grew up, started families and learned to love and listen to her. . . . From the start she was funny." --The New York Times "A fitting finale for the much-loved humorist." --Booklist
