Ordered cheap online. Very very very enjoyable read thusfar. Hard to put down. Read a bit out loud and Chuckie snickered at a lot of it in approval. Reminds us both of our grandpaps and how they spoke and acted.
It’s already a favorite

One of the best books ever. The world needs more grandpas like him.


Some individuals use statistics as a drunk man uses lamp-posts — for support rather than for illumination.

You wont regret it - get The Old Man Boy Grows Older as well!


Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure
