One of the biggest regrets of my life was not taking a day off from work when Tip was signing copies of this book. He died two weeks later. If you love a good story, a tall tale and a bit of blarney this book is for you. Short on story length but long on wisdom. You have to be a real toughie to not enjoy the tales and lessons within. Buy it and read it and see if the pols of today have learned anything.
