Nicole Hollander never disappoints. The creator of the great cartoon strip, "Sylvia", the only one I know that stars a middle-aged woman whose wit cuts through a lot of the warnings and bad news our world feeds us, Hollander has written a funny book about her own horror of turning 60. The illustrations alone are worth the price of the book. Great gift for pals, great way to face those dreaded birthdays. I bought two copies and they had small printers' goofs, like a black dot on a few pp but these books were new otherwise and selling for a few bucks, so who cares?
