Summary: What a Fun Read!
Review: "Letters From a Nut," though hilarious, are written with just enough of a straight tone so as to be taken seriously. (God knows, there are enough real "nuts" out there capable of such quirky eccentricities). The letters, and the responses to them, are great fun to read. As for Ted L. Nancy, I think he's simply a very clever, imaginative comic with the kind of twisted comedic bent I enjoy most. I've spread the word about this thoroughly entertaining book...my sister and a couple of friends have bought and enjoyed it, too. I'll look foward to the sequel that I hope will follow. Mr. Nancy, I think you're terrific!

Summary: I have an autographed copy of "Drop Us A Line, Sucker!"
Review: Loved "Letters From a Nut" -- Gave it as a gift to my friends -- Laughed until I cried -- I have nothing bad to say about it. As for the autographed copy of "D.U.A.L.S.," the authors are from Indiana and my copy was signed (by both of them) at a Barnes and Noble in South Bend. Cool!

Summary: Jerry Seinfeld is Ted L. Nancy
Review: Jerry Seinfeld is obviously the author! Every letter displays his unique sense of humour. His "story" in the introduction about "finding" the letters at a party is ludicrous! Anyway, I found the book to be quite entertaining, although many letters were somewhat boring. Often, however, a letter would come that would knock your socks off! A good example of that would be the one about his costume on the bus (I won't say more). In any case, it's a fun read.

Summary: Not original, but funny
Review: Let's put it this way--if the author IS Jerry Seinfeld, it's pretty pathetic. This has been done SO MANY TIMES BEFORE--by Don Novello (THE LASZLO LETTERS), that Paul Dunn guy (IDIOT LETTERS) and, yes, The legendary Jerky Boys. If it is you, Jerry--how MUCH money do you need, anyway? If it isn't, then--okay, there's some funny s**t in here, but you can hardly claim credit for the idea, "Ted." Oh, well--maybe no one cares who thought up the notion of wasting other people's time--as long as it's funny. And for the most part, LETTERS FROM A NUT is that. Although I can't really picture Jerry Seinfeld "laughing out loud" as he claims he did when he first read these letters...unless he really did write them...

Summary: Nancy is a Genius!
Review: As I write this I'm wiping tears from my eyes. I just read a letter Nancy wrote to the University of Alabama, in which he claims that he wishes to give the university the remains and memorobelia of Cinnamon the world famous show dog. Nancy's genius is in his ability to combine completely outrageous statements with a sincere tone. Read this book and be amazed at the number of outrageous topics he gets officers of well known companies to write about!

Summary: Stich in the side humor!
Review: I embarrassed myself in a restuarant as I was laughing so hard by simply retelling the stories to some friends. Each time I read them they get funnier and funnier. This book is a must in everyone's collection!

Summary: Easily Enjoyable
Review: This book was a gift from a friend who knew I liked a similar book from years gone by entitled "The Laszlo Letters" by Don (Father Guido Sarduci) Novello. That book encouraged me to write to various celebrities asking them off-the-wall questions - and they answered! "Letters From A Nut" is an easy way to amuse yourself for a period of time by seeing how others answer Ted L. Nancy's bizarre and very humorous letters.

Summary: Mr. Nancy you are my hero!
Review: I bought this book while honeymooning in NYC, I translated the letters to my wife who can't read english and we had a great time. Specially during our flights, I lended the book to several passengers and everyone around us was laughing hysterically at the letters. Everyone was so happy with this book (except for a Mrs. Lippman who wanted to get some sleep)

Summary: I Love The Underware One...
Review: Tedd: My teacher has been reading a couple of your letters to my class (we were assigned to write a business letter just like yours to any company; it was very fun). My favorite one is the Hanes underwear one. If they would've taken your idea, I would have been the first to get your six day underwear (just for a souvenir). I can't wait till I get my own book for Christmas. I LOVE YOUR BOOK!!! It's the best book I have ever read. I wasn't having such a great day until English class, where my teacher read these to me. I can't believe some of your letters were answered- and respectfully too. This would be a great present for anyone. YOUR BOOK WAS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
