Life by the Numbers: Quotations You Can Count on

By David Jouris

Each section of this entertaining, inspiring book is organized by numbers, with quoted sources ranging from Mark Twain (There are several kinds of stories, but only one difficult kind -- the humorous.) to Olive Ann Burns (The three things people worry about most are time, dirt, and money.) Also included are past presidents, great thinkers, modern-day satirists, pop icons, and more. Both the clever content and the eye-catching design give this book a smart and nuanced feel that sets it apart from quotation books of any other kind.

Thank Yous You Can Count On.....

...if you gift someone with this delightful little quotations book. It amuses, it informs...with fun illustrations to boot! What more can one ask for in a book that is also a perfect size for stocking-stuffing? Includes many little-known and sometimes quirky entries too, all arranged by the number of "things" the wise or witty person mentioned when they opened their mouth. Five, six, seven, eight: I can't wait for the sequel!
