This is a nice assortment of unacceptable stuff. And I found it all the more interesting because it's so clear why some of the sketches, stories, or ideas were unacceptable. Some are hilarious, many mildly amusing or touching, but most one can understand what failed to appeal to the powers that be. 'Losing It,' the chapter by Michael Colton was probably my favorite, but it is gentle family humor. Maybe it's my poor vision, but the smudgy little thingies on each chapter heading troubled me. I'd get to looking to determine what on earth they were but never decided unless they were supposed to be erasures? Minor detail. The book was good.
