Letters from a Nut by Ted L Nancy

Who is Ted L. Nancy?
He's a concerned hotel guest searching for a lost tooth.

He's a superstitious Vegas high-roller who wants to gamble at a casino in his lucky shrimp outfit.

He's the genius inventor of Six Day Underwear.

He's a demanding dramatist seeking an audience for his play about his 26-year-old dog, Cinnamon.

He's the proud owner of Charles, a 36-year-old cat who owes his longevity to a pet food company.

He's a loyal fan of the King of Tonga.

He is, in reality, a twisted prankster -- a supremely off-kilter alter ego who sends patently ridiculous letters and queries to (and receives surprisingly earnest responses back from) corporate honchos, entertainment conglomerates, national publications, politicians, celebrities and heads of state to everyone, in fact, from the president of the Bon Ami Cleanser Company to U.S. Vice President Al Gore.

Letters From A Nut is an insanely inspired, truly madcap collection of Nancy correspondence, a laugh-out-loud-in-public-places aggregation of official -- and officially certifiable -- requests, complaints, fan mail and questions that could not possibly have been taken seriously.but, amazingly, were!

Dear Mr. Nancy: It is not often that we receive such enthusiastic support for the paper bag. --The Paper Bag Council

On behalf of Greyhound, there should be no problem traveling while in your butter costume. --Greyhound Bus Lines

I look forward to working with you to create a better future for this great nation. -- Vice President Al Gore

An unending stream of some of the most hilarious exchanges I've ever read. Everyone I lent this book to just read it and laughed out loud like I did. It's so simple, yet totally inventive. I'm sure some sort of mail fraud charges could be brought to stop this man but, personally, I hope they never catch him. --Jerry Seinfeld

Jerry Seinfeld, the Emmy award-winning comedian, writer and actor, starred for nine years in Seinfeld, one of the most acclaimed sitcoms of all time. He is the author of a previous #1 bestselling book for adults, Seinlanguage, and a one-man HBO special, I'm Telling You For the Last Time. He resides in New York with his wife, Jessica, and three children.

James Bennett has illustrated for many major publications, including Time, Sports Illustrated, Business Week, and Mad Magazine. Last year he received the Hamilton King Award from the Society of Illustrators for Best Illustration of the Year. He lives and works in Bucks County, with his wife, Susan, and their two young boys, Steven and Brett.
