David Letterman's Book of Top Ten Lists and Zesty Lo-Cal Chicken Recipes
by David Letterman and the Late Show with David Letterman Writers
It's like watching TV -- with the added danger of paper cuts!
Top Ten Apologies to People Buying This
10. Cheap glue will only hold the thing together for about six days.
9. Some kids sneaked into the printing plant and added the word "ass" to a lot of the lists.
8. It costs about a dime to print one of these babies -- now take a look at the retail price, sucker!
7. We're using the money we make to buy "little Dutch girl" outfits for Dave's poodles.
6. The book was hastily assembled overseas by jabbering foreigners who don't give a damn about you or your family.
5. A drunk maintenance guy fell into the press and parts of him appear on pages 68-87.
4. Felt safe making jokes about the Amish on TV; forgot some of them might actually see the book.
3. Dave insisted on writing some of these and we had to play along.
.
2. There is no remote control. Don't look for one.
1. The book ain't much better than the TV show.

Several very funny parts. You kinda have to already like DL and you have to be older to get some of the references from the early 90s but a fun book to read. Perfect to bring with you to the DMV or doctors appts. Small bits at a time is better.

Mildly funny, throughout. I even tried to visualize a cut to Paul laughing, but it didn't help. Fun fact: Louis CK was a writer for this book.
