"The love that grandparents have for their grandchildren is plain in everything they do." - Willard Scott "Who is pictured on just about every photo in your wallet? Who can't you say "no" to in a toy store no matter how full the shopping cart? A grandchild, that's who! In his new book.Willard Scott, the popular and much-loved weatherman on the Today show and proud grandparent of two, turns to his famous and not-so-famous friends and asks them to share their thoughts on the delights of being a grandparent. From tales of the nostalgic (but temporary!) return to parenting through babysitting, to reflections on the pride and happiness in knowing that family history lives on through a new generation, this collection is full of touching stores and funny anecdotes that will resonate with every proud grandparent. Included are Willard's memories of his grandparents and how their lessons still guide him today with his own grandchildren. Willard also lists the many wonderful ways his grandchildren continue to teach him about life and himself, confirming that grandchildren are truly life's greatest joy." - from the inner front jacket flap "What better way to celebrate old age than with grandchildren - they bring a richness to life that surpasses all else!" - Lady Bird Johnson "I have four grandson ans when I think of what fun granddaughters could have had with my wardrobe and wigs, I think, what a waste!" - Phyllis Diller "With Grandchildren, everything's different. Practically everything they say is a jewel, and things that would have really driven me crazy if my own kids had done them are so darned cute when it comes to my grandchildren!" - Art Ginsburg Includes contributions about the joys of grandparenting from: Buzz Aldrin, Jayne Meadows Allen, Roger Armstrong, Art Buchwald, George H.W.

Store description
Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
