Welcome to BookCrossing! This book is now yours to do with as you please. Keep it and read it or pass it on after you're done. Before you do, please considering making a quick journal entry. We can all track this book's journey and the lives it touches forever more!

I have no idea how I ended up with this book, though I vaguely remember using some of the sayings in a Creative Writing project. A fun, quick read full of sayings Canadians actually use.
----------
Folk sayings are passed by word of mouth in a small community where life and work are shared. These 1,200 delightful and sometimes pungent sayings are annotated and arranged in over 130 categories, ranging from All is Well and All is No Well through Anger, Appearance, Bad Luck, Canadiana, Clumsiness, Excuses, Fatness, Liars, Machismo, Shyness, Ugliness, and Thinking, to Water, Weakness, Wealth, and Work. We think you''ll so enjoy this latest Casselman collection that it will give you "a grin as wide as the St. Lawrence."!

Releasing this book at the Calgary BookCrossing May meet-up. If it didn't go home with someone, it's being hoarded for the Canada Day release challenge in July.

Picked this book up at the May Bookcrossing meeting in Calgary. It is a quick read if you don't read all the background for each saying. I was intersted to see how many sayings that I knew, and was surprised that I knew very few. Some I had heard but in a slightly differnt way. My favourite was "Anyone can grow hair, but it takes a real man to suck it back in". Not sure why that one stuck with me!

Read it really fast so I can take it over to megami-no-ushi who wanted the book and I just happen to be going over tonight to. Yeah another book off of my TBR pile!

Crossingguardma brought this over for me. This is for the Canada Day release challenge.

This was a fun fast little read and I recognised many of my common sayings on the pages. The only one that I've noticed missing from the collection is a prarie-ism that I've had some American friends blink at: "you bet your booties" - perhaps I should send it in!

passing back to locker-mosnter to be released tomorrow!
