Even Calvin Coolidge might have smiled.<br> -- <i>Book Week</i><br><br>It is hard to keep from reading bits of this aloud to friends and relations. Groucho in letters is just as devastatingly witty as he was in the movies, to say nothing of other media.<br> -- <i>Publishers Weekly</i><br><br>Written...with the impudence, irreverence and general lunacy that made Groucho the immortal wise guy of the American screen.<br> -- <i>Newsweek</i><br>
