5.0 out of 5 stars Your right hand book, October 7, 1998
There are several thousand books in my home. Beside my desk there is a shelf with the special books I travel with on speaking tours and those I refer to when I need the 'right' quote. This is one of those special books. You can't open a page without finding something delightful. I love this book.
