Summary:

'So funny it will make you sick' TIME OUT

'Cooper's letters are absurd, pointless and very, very funny' RICKY GERVAIS

'The funniest book you'll read' THE GUARDIAN

_______________

The massive bestselling book featuring the wonderfully silly letters of Robin Cooper (aka Friday Night Dinner creator Robert Popper).

For several years, Robin Cooper has been plaguing department stores, hotels, associations, fan clubs and a certain children's book publisher with his letters. So who is Robin Cooper? Architect, thimble designer, trampoline tester and wasp expert, he is all of these things – it just depends on who he is writing to...

This cult hit is a collection of Robin's mad-cap letters to everyone from Prince Charles to the Peanut Council, Harrods to the British Halibut Association – no one is safe. The resulting replies, as well as Cooper's replies-to-these-replies, will have you in hysterics. Letter writing will never be the same again.

Reviews:

Absolutely hilarious, this is the one book I'll be buying for all my friends this Christmas

The Bookseller

It's pure comedy platinum and the book I've laughed to more than any other
