Customer Reviews

Excellent

I was given this book as a gift, and have purchased several to give as gifts myself. I keep this book with my notecards and reference it each time I am writing a special note. It is especially helpful when writing to someone in a difficult situation. The book is well-organized and succinct -- unlike other options in this category. I highly recommend this book.

Just Perfect

I purchased this for my daughter-in-law, who loves to make personal greeting cards. This little guidebook contains of variety of subjects with many choices for "just the perfect message". Worth the price.

Finding the Right Words: Perfect Phrases

A fabulous mind jogger. I'm handed cards and asked to scribe brief notes regarding births, losses, promotions, illness, recovery, and the whole range of ups and downs. This book is great for starting the creative juices going and suggesting a phrase or quote that helps me express my feelings. You will NOT regret the purchase.

Finding the Right Words

Thank you for writing this book! This has been so handy to me in adding a personal touch to my cards to friends and family. While we can all buy a mass-produced greeting card with a printed phrase, handwriting a small message makes me feel that I am really communicating my feelings to the recipient. This book has been FABULOUS in helping me "find the right words" for those occassions that I don't normally encounter and therefore am not sure what to say - like a friend's loss of a pet or people that are close to me going through a divorce. I think it has also been helpful when sending cards to people I am not very close to, in which the phrases are personal enough to convey my feelings while remaining elegant and formal. I strongly recommend this book to everyone out there - it is so handy for anytime of the year, whether it's for holidays, birthdays or those unexpected events that arise that require a card to be sent.

Quick and easy reference

Sometimes life is too crazy to come up with something a little extra on a card. You hate to just sign your name and you don't have the time (or brain cells left after a hard day at work) to come up with something "witty". Besides, if you are all ready witty, your friends and family know it and you wouldn't need this book. It's not meant to turn you into a William Shakespeare. This book is perfect for those of us real people who need a jump start. You don't have to use the book verbatum. You can make it personal. I keep the paperback in my desk at work and the whole office uses it for business related cards and for personal cards. My hard copy is at home with personal favorites flagged with sticky notes, right next to my list of things to do, kid's calenders and shopping lists. That's life. Anything that makes it easier, I am for !!!!!
