Printed: 250 pages, 6" x 9", perfect binding, black and white interior ink Description:“The Hip Pocket Guide to Offbeat Wisdom” is an anthology of succinct and profound quotations ranging from Popeye to Picasso, from Johnny Rotten to Jesus. The quotes have been chosen and arranged very deliberately to best play off, amplify, and inform each other. The quotes in this collection may or may not reflect the author’s temperament, with its eastern influenced mysticism, Germanic penchant for deep thought, and slightly off-center sensibility. These collected quotations are wonderful in many ways – as intellectual chewing gum, as idea-and-reflection-generators, and as conversational Tabasco®. Listed in: |

If you like books of quotations, then Bill Sauer's compendium is a must-have. I have not only enjoyed reading it to see what personal favorites and new delights are within, I like the fact that Mr. Sauer's quotes are not arranged at random, but in a carefully planned order. And if you are like myself, and believe that it is better to memorize one phrase each from 100 great minds, than read 100 great books when there is so much great content on TV, you will certainly want to purchase "The Hip Pocket Guide to Offbeat Wisdom." Buy it even if you're not a practicing pseudo-intellectual!

Seriously, though, you will find this book endlessly entertaining and maybe even educational.
