FORWARD
By Jay Sankey
   (Age 16 at the time of publishing)

As the title atop this page states, this is supposed to be a forward to the book, BOOK, written and compiled by JEFF GOEBEL. It has taken Jeff many years of constant writing and refining for him to acquire a style that is definitely his own. During those years, Jeff has founded and edited two fairly successful magazines and I myself was lucky enough to work with Jeff on one magazine called "THE UNDERGROUND."

The idea behind BOOK, whether the stories (?) them-selves are delightful or not, is a very good one. The reader can start anywhere and stop anywhere. A person can read from back to front or front to back. The humourous writings between these covers are neither long nor tedious, but in fact, short and sweet. It is because of that fact that Jeff only had to go to one publisher, who immediately started publication, instead of going to five or ten. Though, for the life of me, I don't know why I had to go to 26 publishers before one would even read past the first chapter in the book I wrote, and even then, the book wasn't published.

NO! You never see or hear about my book, or watch TV commercials publicizing it! For eight years I wrote and wrote and wrote and now nobody will even read it!!!

Incidentally, I think Jeff is one of the most qualified comedy writers in Canada today, and I doubt anyone else could have written this book once Jeff copyrighted it. This book has something for everyone, and other than the stories from page twelve through eighty-two, this book is a gem and will surely be laughed at.

ED NOTE:  Although this was totally silly when we were 16, it is interesting to note that Jay Sankey went on to become a successful published author, and is still writing. ( http://jaysankey.com )
