"There must be dozens, nay, scores, of busy folk who have never read [Parker]..., who are so dogtired (unlike, I may say, my dog) when they get home that all they can do is flop down and go to sleep. It is for these persons, among others, that I would like to write a recommendation of this Dorothy Parker omnibus. In words that they will understand they have a treat in store for them. And those words mean even more to you and me who have read Dorothy Parker, for we know what those others are missing."
