Product Description
This year about four million people in the United States will turn 30. If you’re one of them, the bad news is that you’re older than 42 percent of Americans. You’ve already lost 10 percent of your muscle mass. And, on average, you’re almost $20,000 in debt. But don’t despair. At 30, Harrison Ford was working as a carpenter, and neither Oprah nor Jane Austen had found fame. Edvard Munch’s famous painting The Scream? Created at 30. And, most heartening, you’re still gettin’ it on— 2.24 times a week.

These are but a few of the factoids, demographic stats, quotes, biographical sketches, and sage and not-so-sage observations in this illustrated celebration of this landmark birthday and the decade that follows. Featuring everything you ever wanted to know about your 30s— and a few things you probably didn’t— Book of Ages 30 offers a chance to reflect on past accomplishments, look ahead to future successes, and completely freak out — all at the same time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!, October 26, 2003
Not every famous person is an instant millionaire by 30, nor do they shrivel up and die of old age. This book is filled with hilarious facts about the famous and not-so-famous 30-something crowd. A great read and a sobering reminder that turning 30 isn't the end of the world. My friends and I really enjoyed it.

5.0 out of 5 stars so much info in such a little package, November 17, 2003
By Rufus King (Astoria, Queens) - See all my reviews
This is a fun book, more of a browse and skim than a read. That's a good thing. Lots of facts and figures (factoids?) about turning and being age 30. Perfect gift material. Plus, it's a little square of a book, so it sits unobtrusively wherever you want, and the design is great, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you read one book this year ..., October 23, 2003
By "drbroncogoldstein" (Bridgehampton, New York) - See all my reviews
This book will change Everything for twentysomethings. It will certainly become a reference point for all cocktail conversation and a source of validation for those looking for such. I would not be surprised if Friendster ultimately requires its participants to define themselves according to the findings enumerated in this book.
