Book Description
Wilber Winkle, an idiosyncratic nebbish with a peculiar focus on the odd and unlikely fact, has corresponded for years with America's major corporations. Fuelling his complaints and comments is a single overriding premise: that the rights of consumers -- his rights -- are under siege, and he must do what he can to defend them. Employing the exasperating curiosity of a six year old and far-fetched notions which only he can devise, Wilber will have readers laughing aloud, trying to read their favourite Wilber letters to friends and relatives without cracking up. A devilishly clever book!
