Hard Cover. Condition: Near Fine. Near Fine. 4th Printing. 4th printing (Ford-Smith, Folio 76 #1140). Includes publisher's slipcase. Fine book in near fine slipcase. Slipcase faintly scuffed. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 2003 Hard Cover. 288 pp. A collection of humorous vignettes by various author…s, with contributions by William Shakespeare, Samuel Johnson, Charles Dickens, Winston S. Churchill, the Queen of England, G.K. Chesterton, P.G. Wodehouse, Mark Twain, Dorothy Parker, Groucho Marx, etc., etc. Ever since Chaucer's day, when the host of the Tabard Inn in Southwark rose to welcome the Canterbury Pilgrims with a joke, the After Dinner Speech, designed, if possible, to reduce the assembled company to helpless merriment, has presented the ultimate challenge. The best speakers are natural story-tellers - Gerard Hoffnung, reading a selection of letters from continental hoteliers: 'There is a French widow in every bedroom affording delightful prospects'; John Mortimer telling the woeful tale of a man's numerous unsuccessful attempts to murder his wife: 'At no time did Mrs Scott feel that the magic had gone out of their marriage' - and in this collection of post-prandial treasures you will find the very best of them, from Groucho Marx on how to resist a femme fatale, to Ralph Steadman surreally addressing the Lewis Carroll Centenary Dinner. 'Goodness', said a friend on greeting Mae West, 'where did you get those beautiful pearls?' 'Goodness', replied Mae, 'had nothing to do with it.' Shaggy dog stories, practical jokes, sporting anecdotes, rousing toasts, travellers' tales and risque reminiscences rub shoulders in this essential collection with real-life revelations and moments of history. Among the guests are Peter Ustinov, Jilly Cooper, Brian Johnstone, Charles Dickens, Dorothy Parker, Robertson Davies, Henry Grady and A.P. Herbert. There is food and drink in abundance. There is gentle reflection and endearing charm as well as defiant frivolity. Above all there are stories for every occasion - witty, absurd, momentous, philosophical, fascinating, poignant, and forever entertaining.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. xii, [2], 578 pages. Author's Note. Notes. Index. Signed by both authors on the half-title page. DJ is in a plastic sleeve. Signed by the author sticker on front of DJ. Carol Duhurst Leonnig is an American investigative journalist. She ha…s been a staff writer at The Washington Post since 2000, and was part of a team of national security reporters that won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for reporting, which revealed the NSA's expanded spying on Americans. Leonnig also received Pulitzer Prizes for National Reporting in 2015 and 2018. In 2005, Leonnig was part of a seven-person team that won the Selden Ring Award for Investigative Reporting given by the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Southern California for a series of articles that uncovered unhealthy levels of lead in the drinking water in Washington, D.C. Philip Rucker is an American reporter and author. He is currently the National Editor at The Washington Post. Rucker received a history degree from Yale University in 2006, where he worked for the Yale Daily News He has worked at the Post since 2005. He became a White House correspondent and served as the White House bureau chief from 2014 to 2023. In 2023, he became national editor. He covered the Trump administration for the Post, as well as Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. He is also a political analyst for NBC News and MSNBC. He is the co-author of A Very Stable Genius. is an insider account of the first three years of Trump's presidency. The second, I Alone Can Fix It, covers Trump's final year in office and its immediate aftermath. Derived from a Kirkus review: A hard-hitting exposé of the last year of the Trump regime packed with appalling revelations. This book, written by Washington Post reporters Leonnig and Rucker in their sequel to A Very Stable Genius, recounts "how Trump stress-tested the republic, twisting the country's institutions for personal gain and then pushing his followers too far." Trump stalked the halls of the White House, finding that he could not explain away the pandemic. In perhaps the most newsworthy moments of this newsworthy book, Trump plots to engineer a de facto coup d'état that will keep him in power. His one firm check is the book's hero, Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Perhaps surprisingly, Melania and Ivanka Trump emerge as adults in the room. In a carefully structured narrative that goes from bad to worse, the authors portray Trump as fully self-satisfied as the Jan. 6 insurrection was taking place. To trust this account, Milley almost singlehandedly averted the unprecedented assault on democracy. In a characteristically blustering interview with the authors after Joe Biden's inauguration, Trump continued to insist that he won the election even while moaning that were it not for the pandemic, he could have beaten a ticket made up of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. A whirlwind of a book, full of Trumpian sound and furyâ"and plenty of news. Jabin Botsford (Jacket photograph) and Melina Marx (illustrator).
