Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 1999

Americans are practical people, and they have a gift for coining pithy phrases. Much of the wit and wisdom commonly attributed to other cultures has, in fact, had its origin in America -- in the cornfields, coal mines, timberlands, and on the reservations and city streets of yesteryear. This collection of over 150 proverbs captures the colourful and diversified ways Americans uniquely express their views of life. All proverbs are arranged by topic: Body and Mind, Friendship and Family, Men and Women, Money, The Spirit, African American Proverbs, Native American Proverbs, and Selected Proverbs by State. Twenty-five exquisite illustrations bring this collection to life.

1.0 out of 5 stars don't waste your money on this, April 22, 2003

Dr. Robert T. Klemvolk (NYC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: American Proverbs (Hardcover)

BEWARE!
These people are trying to steal from you the price of this pitiful mess.
ANY other book on the subject is better.
