The good life and acerbic opinions of the 60 Minutes commentator, syndicated columnist, and bestselling author - in letters to family, friends, and the public.

Andy Rooney's weekly commentaries on 60 Minutes and his twice weekly syndicated newspaper columns - addressing everything from deceptive cereal packaging to the existence of God--have made him America's best known critic of the quotidian. As you might imagine, he gets a lot of letters in response to his often iconoclastic views. As you might not expect, he writes a lot of letters, too.

Now, for the first time, Rooney has collected the funniest, wisest, and most interesting of his letters, spanning several decades and addressing issues both momentous and trivial. Rooney responds to complaints from viewers; he corresponds with old friends; and he writes to his children about the things he cares about most. Variously caustic, hilarious, and sage, these unfailingly entertaining letters reveal not only Rooney the iconoclast but Rooney the American Everyman. Sincerely, Andy Rooney is Andy Rooney at his best--and a wonderful gift book that will make readers chuckle and think twice.
