Dear Publicists,

Please see the excerpt below. I don't care what Colette, Daisy, Lee, or Chocolady think or experienced. When this is ALL I see about a book I am going to pass on it. This is not telling me what the book is about. This is NOT effective marketing, and when it is all one sees online when browsing to buy, or it is all one sees on the back of a book (or inside flaps), all you have done is declare that others liked it. Well fine.. I still have no idea what it is about and I'm not a freaking lemming. You are only letting down your authors

So please, do your jobs (or at least try), tell us in short and delightful prose WHAT the book is about. A brief handful of reviews AFTERwards are fine, but if that is all you can provide about something... it is likely only good for wrapping fish.

"OVER 50,000 COPIES SOLD IN EBOOK AND PAPERBACK!

Since it was published in May 2011 Dear Coca-Cola has received 33 x 5 Star Amazon Customer Reviews. Following are extracts from just three of them -

Colette - Funny, funny, funny. Thanks to this book all the people who were on the same plane as me think I’m a fruitcake as I sat giggling and laughing to myself non-stop. I just didn’t want it to end.

Daisy - I had already read and enjoyed Terry Ravenscroft's Dear Air 2000 so I was really looking forward to this. I was not disappointed. Magnificent. And Mr Ravenscroft has another eight books on Kindle that I have still to read. Can't wait.

Lee Sylvester - Do not read this book whilst holding a cold drink, a hot partner or anything squeezable. The genius of this man's writing is a beautiful thing to read, dry, sharply observed and above all cheap as chips on kindle downloads.

Chocolady - What an excellent book....it had me laughing out loud from the beginning. I challenge anyone to buy this book and keep on reading until the end before putting it down. I now have all the other books by Terry and each one is just as funny as the previous book. Give your chuckle muscles a favour and treat them to a copy of Dear Coca-Cola."

I did have reservations about this book before I started and my reservations turned out to be appropriate. Whilst there are some amusing complaints and replies I gave up about a third of the way through after they were getting a bit too monotonous.

The best and most refreshing thing about this book is the delightful absence of political correctness. Ravenscroft says it like it is; he describes people, events, rules, language as he sees or perceives them. Totally brilliant.

Ravenscroft was a scriptwriter for many eighties' favourites like Morecombe and Wise, Les Dawson, The Two Ronnies, to name but a few. Classics that still make us laugh forty years on.

After reaching pensionable age, Ravenscroft penned anecdotes and accounts of 'adventures' shared with his reprobate pensioner neighbours. By his own admission, he just may have padded these events with a little embellishment, but it doesn't matter one jot. It's sheer entertainment: laugh-out loud entertainment. Funny, witty, light-hearted, enjoyable, sometimes wise and deliciously politically incorrect.… (meer)

Totally worth the read! The witty humour mixed with down right stupid comments invites a ridiculous and amusing reply from customer services!
The laugh out loud book featurs comical humour and much slapstick comedy. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone wanting a silly and humourous book, and I would also like to shine some light on Terry's other similar book "Dear Customer Services" as that features the superb comedy you find in this book. Overall, this bok is a humourous comical book, featuring some witty and slapstick comedy.… (meer)
