Gallery Books has announced the upcoming release of The Courtship of Sally Wade: The George Carlin Letters, an illustrated memoir from Carlin’s wife of ten years, which will include never-before-seen material from the infamous stand-up, as well as Wade’s own recollections of his final years.
It looks like it will mostly be a compendium of Carlin’s correspondence, a place for his stuff that didn’t make it into the previous book. As much as I love the ponytailed comedian, I always found epistolary collections make me feel a little uncomfortable and voyeuristic, even if the person in question has already passed away, so I’m not sure if I’ll spring for it. But what do you think, Shelf-Lifers? Interested in seeing the man behind the legend behind the seven words you can never say on television?

hahahah george would have loved that post sparkle
As his niece, I want to extend my love to Sally and ask that she keep what was special and private between them sacred to her heart. I know that he loved her.
Sure! I loved him as a comedian and his thought process was awesome with this lists of words which conveyed the same meaning. He was extraordinary!! My most favorite HBO special was 1977 at USC, he just shows so much excitement while he performed and he made you think about issues while making you laugh! Still laughing always!!
That would be awesome! He was one of a kind. What better way to pay tribute to the person who loves you the most.
