Strong is the urge to write one's life story as a keepsake for oneself and one's family. The difficulty is knowing where to start, and then where to go from there. Carl and David Marshall, a grandfather-grandson team, have created a fine and fun do-it-yourself autobiography. The cover of the journal-sized Book of Myself is intended to resemble handmade paper; the inside pages have the yellowed hue of a keepsake found in a musty attic trunk. The book is not especially pretty. But the questions--one per page, divided into early, middle, and late years, and then again into sections concerning family, friends, education, work and responsibilities, and the world--are good enough that it hardly matters. Among the 201 jumping-off points included here are questions concerning childhood toys, crushes, and forbidden exploits; adult embarrassments, betrayals, and achievements; and how one's views change over the years. --Jane Steinberg

Book Description
More than 250,000 copies sold! An even easier to use, revised edition of the popular do-it-yourself memoir
A lot has happened in the decade since grandfather-and-grandson team Carl and David Marshall fi rst published The Book of Myself. The American family, which was then undergoing vast changes, has only changed more. Intended as a keepsake memoir to be passed down from generation to generation, this book of questions -- which has already sold more than a quarter of a million copies -- has now been updated to reflect those changes. Though still organized by Early, Middle, and Later Years, the 201 questions have been reordered to start with more objective, easy-to-answer prompts before moving to reflective queries, followed by deeper interpretive questions.
With a homespun yet elegant design and colored ink throughout, this new edition of The Book of Myself is the perfect way to record the turning points and everyday recollections of a lifetime and share them with future generations.
