Customer Reviews

I rock!

This book is easily the best book I've ever written... the only one, actually. Dan Dunn is great. Dan Dunn is me.

The myth, the man-- the booze writer

The identity of the man who pens one of America's most widely circulated booze columns is illusive. From humble beginnings as a local newspaper columnist in Aspen, Colorado, to rubbing elbows with the rich and famous at swank L.A. mixers, the public truly knows little about this man of mystery, despite a career that threatens to bleed through three or four decades. His mystique remains uncompromised in the pages of Nobody Likes a Quitter. Dunn's episodic remembrances are seasoned with recipes for cocktails and shots, tips for selecting premium spirits and advice on who to drink them with. For the modern bathroom and subway reader, this format is ideal--this way you can pick up or leave off anywhere in the book without loosing your orientation. No matter when-- no matter where-- no matter if you're sipping straight Johnnie Walker Blue or chugging from a Dixie cup of Franzia boxed wine-- you're going to have a good time with this book.

Captain Nightlife's Official Review

If I were going to be stranded on a desert island and could only bring 2 books, they would be: 1.)The Bible 2.)Nobody Likes a Quitter Rationale: second greatest story ever told. Seriously - great book for train,plane or bus!

"Work is the curse of the drinking classes"

I fell in love with this guys writing & style & stories back in my own booze soaked days of Aspen life...I would fall out of bed, throw on my gear, head to the bus stop and ALWAYS snatch up a Daily News anticipating the next hilarious Dan Dunn story...I think I even saved a few... This book will have you peeing in your pants, so be sure to read it on the toilet. Dan has Dunn it again! Go buy two so you can lend one out!
