Product Description

Hot on the heels of Anne Taintor's wildly popular first collection, I Can't Be Good All the Time, this hilarious volume brings together Taintor's best-loved images, plus brand new material sure to prompt a knowing snicker, all celebrating the follies of family, home, and hearth. As always, Taintor's sassy creations -- vintage illustrations paired with witty new and impertinent observations -- inspire deliciously less-than-well-mannered thoughts ("Gosh, he went well with her drapes."). These sharp-tongued favorites are sure to please her devoted fans and newcomers alike.

About the Author

Anne Taintor never learned to boil water. She lives in a straw bale home in rural New Mexico.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun...good gift for mothers, June 29, 2006

By	Suzanne MN Fisher - See all my reviews

I got this book for my mother, along with the other one recommended by Amazon to buy together, and it's very funny. I was looking for something that would give her a lift and it definitely did; she enjoys them quite a bit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Calling all Baby Boomers!, January 14, 2008

By	Katherine P. Rosina - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you grew up in the 50's this book will seem like it was written for you! Even if you are not a Boomer, you will see the wry humor. It is a book to share with a friend and a book to keep for yourself when you need to laugh. Ann Taintor is great!

5.0 out of 5 stars Vintage Humor, November 10, 2009

By	D. Avery (Colorado) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

This book is one of the best I've bought. The vintage pictures are wonderful and the humor is wonderful with just a hint of sassy. I will definitely be on the look out for more books or item by this author. I knew that the humor from this author would not be run of the mill, you have to be a little saucy to enjoy it. This would make a great gift for that smart-aleck friend or for yourself.
