5.0 out of 5 stars The best part of a newspaper. 24 Jan 2012
By Tilly
Format:Hardcover
Our country is full of clever, witty people and after a surfeit of bad news it was a delight to read the opinions of people,obviously wise, who agree with me. I thought it would be interesting but I actually laughed out loud and insisted in reading them to everyone friends, children and grandchildren, all of whom understood and appreciated them. Long may readers letter pages continue. Tilly.

5.0 out of 5 stars ...and these are the ones that weren't good enough! 8 Feb 2012
By R. P. Slater
Format:Hardcover
Yet again the staff of the Daily Telegraph shoot themselves in the foot by publishing the side-splittingly funny sweepings from the cutting room floor. The actual letters page in the paper is nothing like as imaginative, insightful, witty and far ranging as the content of this book, gleaned as it was from the rejects pile.
A lovely book and proof, if proof were needed, that the newspaper-reading public are often wiser that the newspaper-writing professionals.
(and no.....I'm not featured in the book!)

5.0 out of 5 stars An anticipated pleasure. 8 Nov 2011
By librarian forever
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
A Christmas treat or it would be if we had the will power to wait till 25/12. Our great fear is that the Telegraph will stop publishing this title.
