Customer Reviews

I've Met Him... And I like Him.

William O'Shaughnessy is everything we love about the Irish. He's irreverent, colorful, warm, and kind. This collection of radio editorials would be worth far more than its price if you were to receive only pages 61-64 for your money. (Think of the other 387 excellent pages as coming "at no extra charge.")I was conducting a seminar in Manhattan for the great Joe Riley when I was introduced to Bill. I gave him a copy of my latest book and he gave me a copy of his, this (just released) Airwaves. I wasn't expecting much... but then I'm an idiot. William O'Shaughnessy beggared America by limiting his radio commentary to Westchester County, New York. He should have been a network anchor.Even though the book has a somewhat regional "New York" flavor, (I'm from Texas,) I liked it.Bill! Write us another one!

yessiree

return we us now to those days of yesteryear..

FINE WRITING AND FINE HAIR CARE!!! WHAT A GENIUS!!!

The book is implemental to the collections of book lovers everywhere. I'm the same age as the author and I have not even half the amount of stories he has to tell. And, I don't even have half the amount of hair. WOW! What a book!

Fantastic! A must for fans of great writing.

Nobody captures the essence of society's colorful characters like O'Shaughnessy. His perspectives on freedom of speech and The First Amendment are inspirational.

Absolutely Stunning!!!

I have read an advanced copy of this book and it is phenomenal. O'Shaughnessy is stunning, stylish and a truly gifted scribe. Read this book!
