David Rose, Publisher.
“Mr. Rose is a deft and unobtrusive annotator.”
“David Rose is the consummate publishing professional. He has forgotten more about circulation than most people ever learn. He also knows all the best bars in New York.”
“A different kind of hippie.”
Books
“It was Wittgenstein who said that “a serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes.” If this is true, then ‘They Call Me Naughty Lola’ may be the Philosophy Book of the Year.”
“A delicious read, stuffed with comically self-deprecating and very British encapsulations of personality.”
“The funniest thing I’ve read in months.”
“A foolproof guide to attracting the right kind of attention..”
“Winning, charming, laugh-out-loud”
“Quirky, erudite and addictively readable - you’ll love it.”
“A pathos-suffused yet convulsion-inducingly funny compendium... does more than any volume since the Kinsey Report to shed light on our species’ mating rituals.”
“... less like an olive resting comfortably at the bottom of a martini glass and more like a peacock that has set itself on fire to flag down passing motorists.”
“The personal ad elevated to a literary form... self-effacing, soaked in pathos, heavy with wisdom, and so damn funny that I’ve been carrying it with me to social engagements—dinner parties, bar nights—and reading excerpts to friends.”
