New Book!

duddys2 — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 22:07:43 +0000

The Book of David

by David Steinberg from Simon & Schuster is on sale now!

Some early reviews:

“Much funnier than the Bible. Much wittier. And…more accurate, especially the showbiz parts. God and David Steinberg go way back, and it’s great to see them together again, hilarious as ever. One of them curious, human, and extraordinarily witty, and the other…God.”

—Garry Shandling

“David’s book reminds us, once again, what a great and original comedian he is. A wonderfully inventive piece. I had no idea David was Jewish.”

—Billy Crystal

“Funny! David Steinberg is a credit to his people, actually to all people, and the spelling and grammar in this book are incredible.”

—Robin Williams

“That this is David Steinberg’s first book, big surprise. That his first book is funny from beginning to end, no surprise at all!”

—Paul Reiser

“For years, David Steinberg and I have compared notes on our mutual disdain for any form of hard work. Now I am shocked and outraged to discover that he has gone ahead and written a book, an excellent one at that, filled with wit and erudition. In short, he has betrayed me and every lazy man who once counted him as a cohort. Every shiftless layabout shall now know the truth: that David Steinberg is a highly motivated purveyor of quality…he’s dead to me.”

—Larry David
