The unique take of Basket Eddy on the world will make you rethink everything you thought you knew. Once considered lost to the vagaries of time, the wordsmithery of master storyteller Clifford Irving now weaves a narrative so breathtakingly audacious the world of Basket Eddy almost bursts with the truth of life. In Don't Be A Dummy, you'll uncover the unexpected lessons and uncanny perspectives Irving has drawn from Eddy. It's a journey of self-discovery that will challenge your preconceived notions and encourage you to think differently and on your own. (Full Disclosure: This is a blank book. And as you may have guessed, Don't Be A Dummy is a work of extreme fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales, and incidents are either the products of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. I.e., Basket Eddy never met Clifford Irving.)
