Customer Reviews

Very Inspiring

This book was a pleasure to read. It is fascinating to read all of the celebrity's "favorite things" from the most simplest to the ones on a grand scale. My favorite was to read about the kids from the Make-A-Wish foundation and what their wishes were. This book is a MUST for everyone!

Very unique concept and a great gift idea

I loved the fact that all the celebrity entries were the actual hand written responses. It gave the words more character and personality while reading them.

An Absolute Joy

I bought this book on an impulse, and what a wonderful surprise it turned out to be.The book's concept--asking well-known figures to share "their favorite things" by jotting them down on their own stationary--reminds us that the things that make our lives special are usually very simple. It's also striking, reading the different lists, to recall how nice a hand-written note can be.The book works on other levels as well. It's great fun, for example, to try and guess what sorts of things the celebrities will list--and more often than not, you'll find yourself surprised by what they say: from Mark McGuire to Robin Williams, from George W. Bush to Regis and Kathie Lee. This book makes a terrific gift as well. Rest assured, if you give this book to someone else, it will spur great conversations about your favorite things--and in so doing, allow you to think about, and appreciate, those things yet again.Kudos as well for supporting the Make-A-Wish foundation.

A perfect coffee table book. Fascinating. Interesting.

What a neat collection of celebrities, from so many different walks of life. The stationary of each celeb is really interesting and their desires are often suprising. What's even better is it is for a great cause. It seems like a pefect stocking stuffer/christmas present. Two thumbs up!
