Blurb (from back cover): "Blessed with a gift for the written word, Jason Hanford has everything he needs: a pen, stationery, and a prestamped envelope. His complaints yield complimentary meals and free hotel rooms. His correspondence with secret crushes makes fantasies come true. Letters to the editor spark citywide debates and inspire change. His letters are powerful, angry, heartfelt, sometimes obscene-and always persuasive.
"Then one day someone sens Jason a letter: This is for you. It leads to an offer to write letters for a living. A whole new world is opening up for Jason.
"He should have asked a few more questions about the job."
Opinion: What a great concept for a book. I thoroughly enjoyed it and had a hard time putting it down. I definitely recommend it.
