A small book of short 1 to 3 sentence statements. Some examples: "Half of achieving anything is knowing what we have to give up to get it."; "People may not be greatly swayed by our thoughts, but they can be deeply moved by our thoughtfulness."; "Be kinder than necessary."Very little wear. Pages are clean, tight and bright and the spine is uncreased.

The first of four books in the series. Very little wear. A novel about a manuscript that predicted a new age for the world beginning in the late 20th century. (I'd insert my skepticism here, but I am trying to sell this book.)

Wear is mild, except the book itself has a bit of a bend (see photo #3). It is currently undergoing pressure therapy, so maybe it will be better by the time you order it. The cover has a few chips around the edges and the spine has a couple of shallow creases. The pages are clean, tight and unmarked, with some yellowing.

A Hallmark gift book. Date and inscription on title page. All other pages clean and unmarked. Each page is a photograph of one or more animals, with a short continuation of a statement to Mom that runs the length of the book. The photo #3 has the caption "You were there to show me my first butterfly.." The next page concludes "...and my first rainbow." under a photo of a polar bear and her cub, looking off to the distance. It continues this way through the 73 pages, equating perhaps the world's longest Mother's Day card.

By the authors of In Search of Excellence (Peters) and The Assertive Woman (Austin). The book shows very little wear, the dust jacket has its share of rubs and tears, the worst being at the upper rear edge of the spine (see photo #2).

The plain-paper dust jacket has fading, spots and many tears and abrasions. The book, much less so; the rust-colored fabric, with white print on the front and spine, shows a little fading at the head and tail of the spine.

The book has been read, and the stitching is stretched a bit. The pages are generally clean, with a very small amount of underlining and margin notes. Signed by the author on the title page.
