Great Facts

This book was purchased for my Mom. It contained a photo of a bar in Brooklyn that had a piece of artwork on the wall done by my Uncle Joe. The book holds many, many facts all about America; all interesting tid-bits!

this is a very interesting book

not a day goes by that i don't kick myself for leaving this book behind in my old apartment. not a day goes by that i don't wonder where our expressions and phrases come from, and this book explains the origin of them all. as a matter of fact I would "BEND OVER BACKWARDS (??)" to get it.
