Greetings From Belleville, New Jersey collected writings

Class of '72 classmate Anthony Buccino collected his favorite
and most-requested writings about life
and growing up in Belleville, New Jersey. 

Greetings From Belleville is Buccino's fourth collection of essays but the first wholly dedicated to his collected writings about Belleville. More than forty essays and reflections on everything from junior high school bullies to selling pretzels for Ed Strat at Belleville High School football games at Municipal Stadium. 

This collection includes the Excellence in Journalism award-winning Don the TV man. 

Sure, as you read it you'll say 'I could have written this." But you didn't. So buy a copy of the book.
