5.0 out of 5 stars
The book all America is talking about!, Dec 18 2001
By Robin Benson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Great American Cliche: Our National Experience So to Speak (Paperback)
This is a gem of a book. In only 176 pages author Paros has summed up the Land of the Free in every relevant cliche going. For instance the spread on the All-American Girl says:The girl next door. Pure (99 44/100%) as the driven snow. Sugar and spice. Peaches and cream. Blue-eyed blond. Sweetheart of Sigma Chi. Just like the girl that married dear old Dad. 'I'd like you to meet my folks', 'Pleased ta meetcha'.
Book designers Stephen Logowitz and Jane Dickson help put the message across by using stock photos from the forties and fifties and varied typography.
Brilliant! If I've said it once I've said it a dozen times, buy this book. You won't be disappointed, it says here!
Listmania!
