{"product_id":"9781543462692","title":"The Book of Old Sayings with Some New Sayings: Over 4,000 Sayings Will Leave You with Curiosity, Laughter \u0026 Wisdom \"Don'T Judge a Book by Its Cover\"","description":"As a student of philosophy, I took interest in it. History was also a favorite study. I was an A student in English. I liked to read and write. Creative writing was fun to do. Over the years, as I traveled and worked on ships and construction sites, I developed my manhood, you might say. I matured around men who talked filthy, played the dozen, and told a lot of jokes. Of course, I was influenced by some of this. I picked up on a lot of jokes and old sayings, mostly from older men. Throughout the years, I had remembered quite a few. My friends used to call me a philosopher. I had a saying for everything. Over the years, I realized everyone had picked up their share of sayings as well. I started writing them down because they were so many I couldn’t remember them. Then I realized the wisdom in them and came up with the idea to put them in a book form for reference. I felt that some could read this book and be educated by all the wisdom. Where else could you find a collection of so many sayings that will leave you with curiosity, laughter, and wisdom?","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128416813296,"sku":"9781543462692","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781543462692_p0.jpg?v=1763748674","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781543462692","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
