Far More Yielding Than Your Average Magic 8 Ball
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
There's really not a whole lot to say about this book. It's basically a Magic 8 Ball in book form, though, of course, it has FAR more possible results, seeing as it has hundreds and hundreds of pages. It's great fun for a gift or at a party or even just to consult on your own for all those little "yes or no" decisions you have to make from day-to-day. It's quite a fabulous idea, really, though perhaps a bit pricey for what it is. Nevertheless, it's lots of fun. I highly suggest it.
There's nothing like an unbiased opinion.

Me: "Should I continue to be self-employed?" Book: "of course." Me: "Are you sure I should continue to be self-employed?" Book: "give it all you've got." Me: "Are you really sure I should continue to be self-employed?" (Admittedly, this was a day I was frustrated with my clients and myself, and was considering bagging the whole deal.) Book: "mind your own business." (!)I have been asking this book questions for over a year now (I am one of the lucky hundred or so people who had the opportunity to buy a copy of the artist edition of this book when the author was selling them at Bailey-Coy bookstore in Seattle in 1998). I have asked the book dumb questions ("Should I have spaghetti for dinner?"), serious questions ("Is my father dying?"), and questions in frustrating moments (see exchange between book and I above). The answers, while usually startlingly applicable, never fail to confirm for me what I know to be true--whether I want to believe it or not.
Funny--Masterful, sly wit delivered simply and practically.

This book is a hoot. After using it to answer mundane questions, (Should you drive or fly? Must we leave now?) dare explore your dreams--Move to Tibet? Texarkana? Will I make my goal of millions by sundown? At board meetings, family roundtables, parties, or as an icebreaker--however we use "The Book of Answers", it fuels what may already be in our heads, in our hearts, or at our fingertips. What makes it hilarious, is this book's voice. Bolt has captured wisdom's funnybone.
