New Lederer book

No, not that Lederer. The other one. No, not that one, either.

It's Katy Lederer, author of the fine autobiographical work Poker Face. She has a new book of poetry out. It presumably has nothing to do with poker, but if you are, like me, somewhat fascinated with the entire Lederer clan, you might want to look into it. I heard an interview with her on public radio today. You can hear it and both hear and read excerpts from the book here.

The father, Richard, has some great books. I particularly like Anguished English and More Anguished English.

They are a collection of bloopers, malapropisms, etc.

Here's an example of an ad:
Try our cough syrup. You'll never get any better.

And this headline:
Half of all children tested below average.

Misplaced modifier:
We saw many bears driving through Yellowstone Park.
