Sadly, books of humor do not sell. Even a famous name like Dave Barry sells a fraction as many copies of his books as a crappy novelist like Jackie Collins or Judith Krantz. I wrote a book of humor a few years ago that was brought out by a top NY publisher. It took two years to write, got national publicity, was praised and profiled by everyone from "Inside Edition" to "Playboy," and I made exactly $4,250 off it, before taxes. I wish could afford to visit New York at all, much less stay in a palatial $90-a-night hotel like the Pennsylvania.

Don't keep us in suspense- we Freepers need to support each other!
