Try and Stop Me A Collection of Anecdotes and Stories, Mostly Humerous

Foreward: "I have always had a hitherto useless knack for remembering hundreds of unrelated anecdotes about unrelated people. . . To supplement my own memory, I have pored through countless issues of The New Yorker, Time, Life, Newsweek, Variety, Reader's Digest, and Coronet in quest of additional anecdotes. . . Cjolumn conductors and radio comics are engaged in a highly competitive businessm, and thier anxiety to establish the originality of their material is thorougly understandable. . . One of the most amusing features of my research for this volume was the frequency with which certain classic yarns bobbed up with entirely differnt cast of characters. . . Many of the paragraphs in this voluime appeared originally under my name in my weekly "Trade Winds" column in the Saturday Review of Literature, and in Esquire, Coronetm, Liberty, American Mercury, Reader's Scope, and Town and Country. (quoting from the Foreward and signed by Bennet Cerf).
