"What you are about to read are the letters I have written to him over several years. Some are downright
silly, some are blistering and outrageous, while others contain my thoughts on life and the experiences that go with it. All
were written with the hope of making him laugh, and to encourage him not to take himself too seriously." - Edward Eugene
Baskett.

"This book is unpretentious and at the same time clever, funny, and
generally endearing. Granted,
it is relatively light fare and be finished quite comfortably in one sitting (a very enjoyable sitting at that). The wit
shines through beautifully, and all in all, I am happy to take great pleasure in that alone. Still, though I make to claim
to truly knowing Mr. Baskett's intentions, I personally feel a surprising depth to these often satirical, occasionally
poetic, and sometimes (dare I say) even tender missives. It is there, at least, for those that want, need, or like to find
it. Baskett is a gifted social commentator, with a rather subtle touch. If you are compelled to take offense to anything
he might dish out, then it seems you are meant to. But, in the end, one must remember that the whole work is written, it
seems, in the spirit of humor and play. Baskett's style is unique in its playful and vigorous nature. To stop mincing
words, the book is good people! I can only offer my opinion, of course, but my opinion is that you will not regret it."
