Summary: LAUGH OUT LOUD!!!!!!
Review: What an absolutely hilarious book! This must be an idea out of the Mr. Bean Diary, where he has several letters like Mr. Nancy's. Seinfeld is sure right to endorse this guy's antics. I decided to write my own letter using a phoney name. I got a response too!! Check it out...Dear Dominoe's Pizzeria: My name is Ricky Davidson, and I am a young man interested in opening up a business in this fine country of America. Here is my idea: A 24 hour pizzeria which also sells videos. I'll call it "Rickys Pizza and a Movie." Novel idea huh? Here is why I am writing to you, Dominoe's Pizzeria: Sinse I am a young lad just trying to make it in this world, I'd like to propose to you that I come to your pizza shop as an intern for 6 months to learn. Smart? In the 6 months, I'd require a private bedroom preferrably in the home of Mr. Dominoe himself and I must be given access to meals at all times. (I am a hungry guy that enjoys midnight snacks and an occasional Snapple at 4 am, even though Snapple tends to be too fruity and the acidity gives me heart pains.) Please write back ASPCA as I am very interested in getting my feet wet (in pizza sauce Ha Ha!) Eagerly awaiting your response, Ricky Davidson PS: Great twisty garlic knots! RESPONSE: Mr. Davidson, Thank you for recent letter. We love hearing from our customers from time to time, however we seldom do in written form. Our garlic knots are made with a special recipe where we bake the knots in the oven with a special garlic sauce and brush them with another splash of our sauce after they come out of the oven for additional flavor. In regards to your request to start an internship with Dominoe's Pizza, we regret to inform you that there is no way that this request is possible. Perhaps you'd like to apply for a job in one of our locations in your area? Good luck with your idea. Steven Morkley, Manager

Summary: what about lazlo letters?
Review: this book is funny enough, but it's a blatent ripoff of the "Lazlo letters" written by the comic who used to play Guido Sarduchi on saturday night live. You really can't appreciate this book without first reading the Lazlo letters, which was written in the mid 70's.

Summary: A creative and hilarious look at our letter writing culture.
Review: We've all written letters of complaint, thanks, or inquiry, but most of us (hopefully!) have never written letters quite like this. Most of the letters written by Mr. Nancy are quite funny, but the responses he receives--usually deadly serious--are often even funnier. While not every letter (or response) is comic gold, and some of the jokes tend to wear a little thin after a while, this book is very funny and worth reading. Be sure to read the letters in order--it actually does make a difference!

Summary: Outragious! Hysterical! Everyone will love it!
Review: Ted L. Nancy whomever he is, whether Jerry Seinfeld or an above average loon from Thousand Oaks California, is completely outragious. I laughed out loud reading his correspondence with companies, organizations and public officials from all over the world! The man is a true nut in the fullest sense of the word. He has the most bizarre lifestyle ever imagined and requires the most unusual travel arrangements ever heard of, yet always has a kind word to say to everyone he writes too such as 'I'll always shop at Robinson-May - You have the fewest pins in your shirts." or "Thank you very much, Sahara, for getting back to me on this. I love your driveway." Ted L. Nancy is a man with quite unusual situations in life, and unique problems and inventions. You will roll out of your chair when reading this book. It is great fodder for raising spirits on a tough day. A true gem! If you read this book you will become a true Nancy fan.

Summary: Funny!
Review: This is a very funny book... It has the comedy style of Jerry Seinfeld (Um, I mean Ted Nancy), and I really enjoyed it. You'll LOL. Some of the letters are very much alike, but that's not entirely bad, because they all had different responses, which were at times even funnier that the letters...

Summary: Nutty!
Review: Entertaining Comical Fun! This book is a bunch of fake letters and the replies they got. For example, a man wants to stay in a hotel...and writes them asking if he can gamble in his shrimp costume. The next page is the hotels response. I read this book in one sitting...eager to read letter after letter. The more outrageous the letter...the more eager you are to hear what the company says in reply. I found that the majority of the letters were a bit too alike for me. I found 3 letters in the book that made me laugh and laugh. Comedy is good for the soul, enjoy the book

Summary: Hee hee hee hee
Review: I love this book! I've read it several times over and it's always great for a laugh. Ted L. Nancy operates out of Thousand Oaks CA which is near where my parents live. I'll have to stop by to say hi sometime.

Summary: Blues Breaker
Review: This hilarious book and its' sequel 'More Letters From A Nut' are by my bed. If I've had a stressful day, I read a letter. If I've had a horrible day I read two letters. It never fails to make me smile or laugh out loud. Warning : Don't read this on an airplane, someone will have to be called to restrain you.

Summary: Not quite Toth for the 90ies; entertaining nevertheless!
Review: Who is Ted L Nancy? Judging by this collection of correspondance, Mr Nancy is a man of many faces and restless feet. His ailments and physical traits are many and prone to change (soon he performs as Topps the Slender Giant, soon as Pip the Mighty Squeak, at times he suffers from combined narcolepsy and bed-wetting, at others he plainly wishes to travel in his Human Cheese costume); his hotel visits are numerous and ridden with perils (can he be allowed to bring his own soda machine? how about gambling in a shrimp costume? or trying to retrieve his prussian military swrod, abandoned in a Ritz Carlton restroom). He hawks ingenious product designs to corporations, and he salutes the Kingdom of Tonga and his old, old dog Cinnamon. Whoever Ted Nancy really is, he is close enough to Jerry Seinfeld to solicit a short foreword from him, however superfluous and gratuitous it may be. And the fact that he is so shamelessly inspired in both deed and means of expression by the infamous Lazlo Toth is only almost as interesting as the fact that whereas Lazlo Toth in the 70ies had a political agenda (and apparently established something of a relationship with president Nixon among others), Nancy in the 90ies is strictly consumer- and showbiz-oriented. Also, the fact that Ted Nancy so often pushes the envelope a little too far means that his inquiries solicit less amusing responses than those of his predecessor. Ultimately, this is a witty, sometimes outright funny companion to the Lazlo Toth letters, and well worth acquiring if you appreciate not-always-so-subtle practical jokes.

Summary: Nonstop laughing... right up a true humorist's alley!
Review: Just about every letter, and, perhaps more so, every response in this ingenious satirical swing at america's uptightness and utter cluelessness left me in tears I laughed so hard. The hilarious writing style of each of the letters, as well as the perfectly placed random interjections [ Fred! Dogs Bark! ] make this a masterpiece of up-all-night-reading-out-loud humor
