Customer Reviews

Nice Surprise

I was surprised to see this vendor offered books and even the very one I needed! The item arrived as promised, in excellent condition. It would be a pleasure to shop with this vendor again.

authentic, cute, and surprisingly wise

"The Husband Book" would make a good gift for your mate, ladies. It's a quick read, with one maxim per page. You can read it before you present it to him, and put a star by the advice that is most pertinent!Probably not all of the sage advice will apply to your marriage---each one is different, after all--but there is a generous supply of common-sense adages that you are sure to find meaningful. (It can be astonishingly refreshing to realize how many of us share the same problems, misunderstandings, and communication failures!)This book will make you both smile, and you may find some healing touches in its pages, as well. Recommended.

If only...

If only every husband would pick up this little jewel and read it we'd all be happier campers. Mr. Harrison's wife is a lucky lady.

All husbands should read this!

Straightforward, funny and so true! Every husband should keep this book handy for a daily reminder. I gave The Husband Book as a gift to a new groom, but also plan on giving it to my in-laws who've been married for decades. It covers all the bases.

Wish my ex-husband had read it!

Mr. Harrison's book was witty, fun and SOOOO true! I'm sure his wife appreciates his love for her! The book was full of very true insights that were hopefully not too hard earned! Mr. Harrison made me laugh out loud and repeatedly reminded me that perhaps there are sensitive men out there in the world! I also read his book, "Father to Son," another extremely insightful book on raising boys. As a single mother of two teenage boys, I think Mr. Harrison is right on track. His words hit home in both books. I plan on giving these books as gifts to all soon-to-be or new husbands and/or fathers of boys. The books will make you laugh at his wit, sigh at his insights and make you wish he held seminars for husbands and fathers alike! Great books! Fun reading!
