Oblong quarto, hardcover (slick, full-color illustrated boards), 89 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: The art in this book should be especially enjoyable to all politicians, lawyers, doctors, teachers, preachers, engineers, scientists, secretaries, union workers and anybody else who ever pays taxes. As the "Will Rogers of American Art," Perez is the most talented artist this century to deal with the politics of society in the style of the old masters. His work will live with that of Daumier, Gillray, Cruikshank, and Kley of centuries past. Perez flips his brush with equal disdain at the fraud, waste and hypocrisy of all branches of government in Washington and at bureaucrats everywhere. At first glance, it may appear that some of Perez's art treats some professions, such as medicine and law, too disrespectfully, but his satire is intended to prod the viewer to question and think about many of the more serious issues today. His art is a mirror irreverently reflecting our reality. Relationships between the greedy and the needy are whimsically exposed by the countless metaphors in his drawings and paintings.

Max Patkin was featured in the film Bull Durham. "Max is the funniest man in baseball. Period." - Tommy Lasorda, Dodgers manager. "Max is my god." - The Phillies Phanatic. "Max could make me laugh at the ballpark, and that ain't easy." - Jim Fregosi, Phillies manager. "Max is funny without a costume and without makeup- unless that's not his real nose." - Johnny Bench, Hall of Famer. "When you scan the crowds at the ballparks where Max appears, you'll see thousands of parents and grandparents who've brought the kids to watch the clown they enjoyed in their childhood. Max is out there in the coaching boxes imitating the first baseman or pretending to steal signs from the catcher - or he's on top of the dugout dancing and writhing to "Rock Around the Clock" - or he's at the plate, getting a hit, then sprinting for third rather than first base. Everybody in baseball knows Max Patkin. There are probably only a handful of major leaguers in the past 50 years who haven't seen the Clown Prince of Baseball or played with his at one time or another. He has played in more baseball parks, entertained more fans, known more players and brought more joy to Mudville than any other player in the history of the game. Millions saw Patkin in the movie Bull Durham. Now they can read his book, written with Stan Hochman - one of the best veteran sports writers in the business. The stories are fresh, the players mostly old and the spirit is eternally young." - from the inner front jacket flap. Signed by Author(s).
