A Good Citizen is Fit!,
By SEW (NY, MA, Ireland.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Good Citizen's Handbook: A Guide to Proper Behavior (Paperback)
This is great kitsch. Some will long for a world like this but of course it never was like this. But if you want to know why ALCOHOLISM means death to the nation, and why plain laziness is the trouble with many, this book is for you.

What ever happened to the basics?,
By Travis King (Huntington, WV) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Good Citizen's Handbook: A Guide to Proper Behavior (Paperback)
This information came from my parent's era. I can't help but think how much better our country would be if everyone read this book. Sure, it seems a bit outdated - but does being a good citizen, a good neighbor, or a patriot go out of date?

The Children's Guide to being a good citizen,
By
This review is from: The Good Citizen's Handbook: A Guide to Proper Behavior (Paperback)
Liberals will find this book outdated, old fashioned, even humorous, but do good manners ever really go out of fashion? Yes, this is a bit dated and may portray the nuclear family of the 50's, but the content of this little book are timeless. The handbook promotes a wide variety of civic lessons ranging from penmanship, gun safety, respect for authority, cleanliness and grooming, proper diet and much more. These make great little gifts. Adults will appreciate the nostalgia, while children will learn valuable lessons for life. This book will remind you of the values we once had in America, and will set goals of the vlaues we must return to. This book is honest and pure, in every way. Get this book for your grandfather who wonders what happened to common decency. Get this book for the grandson who never knew it. Get it for the patriot who needs a quick reminder of what America is at its core. Get it as a reminder fo your civic duties, responsibilities and rights.
