Book Review

Apronisms: Pocket Wisdom for Every Day by Ellyn Anne Geisel

 

 

  

Hardcover: 80 pagesPublisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing; Min edition (February 1, 2008) Language: English ISBN-10: 0740771248 ISBN-13: 978-0740771248 Product Dimensions: 0.4 x 3 x 3.7 inches

I was able to check out the ebook from my library, which is a good thing as it is a very small book in both size and content.  The book measures 3” x 3.7” and the epub version that that I read is 17 pages but the printed version is 80, so I’m guessing that it takes several print pages to equal one ebook page.

 

I did enjoy reading and looking through this book even though it took about 10min to read the entire book as each page is very brief and the book contains home-spun, no-nonsense wisdom and a few pictures.
 

“Change the dish towel.

Hang a fresh towel and your kitchen will look neater and cleaner, even when it isn’t.  Note the satisfaction you feel when draping an ironed towel over the oven door.  Vintage tea towels.  Embroidered beauties.  Simple Renewel.”  

“Be a spendthrift when it comes to kindness and a miser with criticism.”
 

“You can never have too many aprons ….. Or too many memories.”

“When company’s on the doorstep, it’s amazing how much dusting an apron can accomplish in a matter of seconds.”


Even though I found the book pleasant to read, I felt some of the wording chunky and some sentences poorly formed.
