Customer Reviews

Kudos

Jo Petty certainly has a real winner with "Apples of Gold". I am over fifty and can relate to many of the phrases quoted by the compiler. The book generated rather mixed reviews from my young granddaughter who seemed bewildered at some of the outdated metaphors. However, to most of us "oldsters", we are quickly able to grasp the wisdom behind the phrase.

THOUGHT PROVOKING

I BOUGHT THIS BOOK YEARS AGO, READ IT AND FORGOT ABOUT IT. HOWEVER, YEARS LATER HAVING LOST TRACK OF ITS WHEREABOUTS, I FIND MYSELF REMEMBERING BITS AND PIECES OF THE GEMS HELD WITHIN. I'M PLACING AN ORDER FOR A 2ND COPY SO IN MY OLD AGE I AM NOT WITHOUT WHEN I NEED A LITTLE REMEMBERENCE.

A wonderful, insiteful, thought provoking book.

This compilation of writings, by some famous and some "not so famous" writers, is humorous and thought provoking. The book is great reference material for presentations, and as an aid in everyday life.
