Uncles: A Tribute to the Coolest Guys in the World

by Russell Wild

For all the times uncles have made us laugh at family gatherings and bought us the gifts that our parents would not dare get us, this is the ultimate tribute to the family's quirky but lovable heroes. Uncles is filled with anecdotes about these funny men. It also includes the world's largest and finest repository of uncle trivia. Learn how Uncle Sam came to be, which four American presidents were raised by uncles, and even the location of the ultrasecret headquarters of that international crime-busting organization, U.N.C.L.E.This is also a how-to book for men just breaking into the role of uncle, including how to dress, what gifts to buy nieces and nephews, and using uncle-status to pick up attractive women. Men desiring to be the ultimate uncle need only emulate all-time favorites such as Uncle Fester, Uncle Charley, and Uncle Miltie, among other famous men who have given the job a sense of fun, love, and unmatched wackiness.
