Customer Reviews

Vintage Erma as her best

There is a reason an entire generation of young mothers now refer to her as "Saint Erma." She made "real life" cool. She taught us to laugh at ourselves while embracing the wonderful ordinariness of everday living and loving. This collection is among the best of the "Erma works" and anyone who is a fan, or soon to be, will enjoy this valuable collection of Bombeck wit.

If you love Erma, you'll want to read it all

Younger Erma fans may have missed these older books by our most prolific female humorist, and this is a great way to get them all.

Four of A Kind Funny

Ms. Bombeck hits home with her housewife humor. From the legality of family vacations to stepmother's with bad PR, Bombeck keeps her readers laughing through tears and every emotion in between. A great book to include in any true Bombeck fans library. Ms. Bombeck will be dearly missed in her absence.
