This book contains excellent contributions by comic writers. The gems are Peter Cook's

One thing nearly all of the friends invited to contribute to this book have in common: by God they can write- The authors are a ministry of all the talents; the book is most enjoyable

Peter Cook Remembered is a moving celebration of a good man who made us laugh. Apart from being very funny, it has the bonus that each sketch illuminates not only the man but his time. It is a beautiful book and Lin Cook's final poignant memoir of her husband is as good a love letter as you'll find anywhere

It is a mad book - but then the subject is a madman. I love Lewis's passion ... I recommend it

Reinventing the genre as well as reassessing its subject with formidable intelligence, this book is a remarkable achievement

Lewis is a great critic of great performances ... this book represents perhaps the most searching life of a non-classical actor ever written
