Who says a picture's worth a thousand words? Some pictures are so weird, so funny, or so touching that they can only be "told" in the exact number of words it takes to fill the back side of the... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Mr. Steinkellner must have a highly tuned sense of the absurd. Where others see merely quaint old photos, he sees a world where a picture really does say more than 1000 words. They say just enough to fill a postcard. In this case, a picture says a thousand laughs.
Postcards From The Moon presents ninety of William Steinkellner's writings, so short and succinct that they each fit on the back of a postcard. His observations are satirical, poignant, irreverent, suspenseful, and sometimes simply hilarious. The picture postcards run the gamut of prom queens, beauty queens, bathing beauties, bathing babies, the Baby Jesus, dance classes, family reunions, lamp jumpers, bank robbers, space aliens, nuns, dogs, barbers, saints, and more. Postcards From The Moon is thoroughly entertaining, thought-proving, and occasionally enlightening. You'll never again look at picture postcards quite the same.
