1.0 out of 5 stars
Should be entitled: Caveat Emptor or Hic Nihil, June 14, 1999
This review is from: Carpe Diem (Hardcover)
This is an attractive "point-of-sale," impulse item sort of a book that has you wondering "what was I thinking about when I bought this?" There is no theme around which the selected phrases are chosen. No gender or occassion. No inspirational or historical or career-oriented construct. It's just a bunch of the Latin "usual suspects" printed with a nice-enough graphic. No source documentation. No attributions. Just a drawing of the sun and the words, "Carpe Diem." It would more appropriately show a watercolor drawing of a pick-pocket and the pharse, "Caveat Emptor."
It would be a great gift item, but I cannot imagine to whom one would gift it.
