The Timewaster Letters are the hilariously surreal correspondence of Robin Cooper, who for several years has been plaguing department stores, hotels, associations, fan clubs and a certain children's book publisher with his letters. From the Campaign for Courtesy to the British Halibut Association - no one is safe. Whether he's arranging a surprise clarinet party for his wife, designing scarecrows made from beef or merely looking for his lost shoelace, Robin Cooper is clearly a man with far too much time on his hands.

Robin Cooper is the pseudonym for Robert Popper. Robert, a Bafta-nominated writer and television producer, and co-creator of BBC2's hit comedy series, Look Around You. His 'Letters From a Complete Timewaster' appear in Jack magazine.

'Cooper's letters are absurd, pointless, and very, very funny' - Ricky Gervais

'This is the funniest book I have ever read' - Matt Lucas

• The Timewaster Letters by Robin Cooper is a good buy if you want to send a letter of complaint to a faceless bureaucrat. You might both get a laugh from it.
