"A harrowing, hilarious, headlong book. Mr. Self writes at all times as if he were launching himself off a cliff. By ruthlessly exposing his own failings he paints a wrenching and unforgettable picture of the terrible predicaments all modern fathers face."-- Tony Hendra, author ofFather Joe: The Man Who Saved My Soul, "A harrowing, hilarious, headlong book. Mr. Self writes at all times as if he were launching himself off a cliff. By ruthlessly exposing his own failings he paints a wrenching and unforgettable picture of the terrible predicaments all modern fathers face." -- Tony Hendra, author of Father Joe: The Man Who Saved My Soul, "An honest heartbreaker of a book that should be compulsory reading for anyone who brings a child into the world."-- Tony Parsons, "A harrowing, hilarious, headlong book.

    Great value. Exactly as described. Packed well and with care. Shipped very promptly. Seller was communicative, honest and responsive, resolving a concern I had that was ultimately found to be misplaced and unwarranted.

    Book as described. It is a reprint / copy of old text information and what appears to be good reference for the given topic. The reprint work is pretty good, only a few light spots in the text. It is nice to find old, historic information and this seller has provided that. Shipping was fair and fast the book is in good condition, and I thought it to be a fair price. Thank you - CEO_HLR
