Item Description

Indulge your inner verbivore. Spend some time with everyone’s favorite fly-by-the-roof-of-the-mouth user-friendly English teacher, Wizard of Idiom, Attila the Pun, and Conan the Grammarian.

Richard Lederer is the author of more than 40 books about language, history, and humor, including his best-selling Anguished English series and his current books, The Gift of Age, A Tribute to Teachers, American Trivia, and Amazing Words. He has been profiled in magazines as diverse as The New Yorker, People, and the National Inquirer and was founding co-host of “A Way With Words” on Public Radio.

Dr. Lederer’s observations on language appear in magazines throughout the United States, and “Lederer on Language” appears each Saturday in the San Diego Union-Tribune. He has been elected International Punster of the Year and Toastmasters International’s Golden Gavel winner. He makes about a hundred appearances a year and, as a speaker, is at home in almost any venue.

Richard Lederer is the proud father of professional poker players Howard Lederer and Annie Duke and poet/memoirist Katy Lederer. Richard and his wife, Simone van Egeren, live in San Diego.

The highest bidder wins an appearance by Richard Lederer; he will come to your home for an evening of conversation or appear in any venue you choose (in San Diego, CA).
