BILL SHAPIRO is the editor in chief of LIFE.com and the former editor of LIFE magazine. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
"'A rejection letter can sway or scar a life, ' writes editor Bill
Shapiro, 'causing one person to give up his dreams, another to work
harder.' They're no fun either way, but after reading the examples
in his new book, at least you'll know you're not alone." -

"The native Angeleno and editor of Life.com must have rifled
through lots of desk drawers (and government files) to come up with
these: nasty emails, angry texts, and dismissals of both the famous
(like Andy Warhol and Jimi Hendrix) and non-famous alike - and
they're funny because they're not ours." - LAmag.com
"A new anthology of career failure, romantic relationship
disasters, cute letdowns, and outrageously nasty trash talk" -
Boston Herald
"A great gift for anyone who has ever heard a resounding no." --
