71201X1 Hippocrene Books, New York: 107 pages. Hardcover, no dustjacket. Brand new book. Americans are a practical people, and they have a gift for coining pithy phrases. Much of the wit and wisdom commonly attributed to other cultures has, in fact, had its origin in AmericaÑin the cornfields, coal mines, timberlands, and on the reservations and city streets of yesteryear. This collection of over 150 proverbs captures the colorful and diversified ways Americans uniquely express their views of life. All proverbs are arranged by topic: Body & Mind, Friendship & Family, Men & Women, Money, The Spirit, African American Proverbs, Native American Proverbs, and Selected Proverbs by State. Twenty-five exquisite illustrations bring this collection to life. ISBN: 0781807530 $14.95USD
