Dear Geary, I have over 200 quote books; in my collection I have a copy of The World in a Phrase. You are the first writer of a quote book I've ever seen at a book signing. Your dry wit and juggling were fanatastic. I just wrote, The World's Most Creative (And Dangerous) Quote Book (go to www.knowords.com ). I'm at the beta-blurb stage which means I'm contacting some of the world's most creative people to write blurbs to take to the agent with the recommendation I have from a famous writer. Love your website, links, store (I would love to have the store to sell shirts I've had made over the years when I was teaching in Virginia and Edinburgh, Scotland. My favorite website is TED.com. I just discovered Fora TV today. I'm adding Fora to the Creatography at the end of my book. I love to create original quotes, but I'm not sure how many would fit your Geary 5 laws. Go to www.knowords.com and see. N. Wylie Jones nwyliejones@hotmail.com .
