The Book of Myself: A Do-It-Yourself Autobiography in 201 Questions
I just got The Book of Myself to give to my dad on Father's Day. A friend gave it to his dad for Father's Day last year and said his dad gave it back to him, all filled out, for Christmas. I think that is a great way to appreciate each other!

I bought this book for my grandmother who was just disgnosed with cancer. I have heard wonderful stories from her, but I wanted those stories to be preserved for my children.The book asks good questions, some of them basic, some more in-depth, but it should spark some memories. The book itself is constructed of nice-looking paper stock and the cover is nice as well.This book is set in three life stages: early, middle, later years. So you could technically buy it for someone in their 20s, but not all the questions will relate to them.

I got this book for my elderly mother as a gift. She is hard to buy for as she doesn't need anything. She is enjoying filling it out and reminiscing about her younger days. It has brought back memories of things she hasn't thought of in years. The book will be a wonderful keepsake for generations. It would be nice if there was more room for longer memories; a little more space for writing things in it would be better. However, my mother has been raving about how much she loves this book so I would get it again.

I purchased this book and another one to use as journal prompts. Sometimes when writing in my journal I find that if I ask myself a question each day that I can put more of myself into the journal. This book with its 201 thoughtful questions is doing just that ... making me think and respond. Anyone on a journsy of self-discovery would find this book useful. And, anyone wanting to write more than a few words about their day will find this book helpful.

I gave this book to my mother, and she actually filled it out. It is a treasure to me. I learned so much about her as a person, not just my mother. Based on the information she gave, I bought her birthday presents for crafts she always wanted to learn, cooked her favorite meals and realized how similar we are in many ways. I teach and speak extensively about the importance of writing personal and family history, and I always use this book as an example of one way to commit a life to paper. Well done.

Currently I have only one of my grandparents left living. I really want to learn about her life and stories. I purchased this book for her so we don't loose her life history. I live across the country from her and only get to see her about once a year. So I sent his to her so she can tell me more about her life. I left it up to her how and when she answered the questions. I really look forward to sharing her life thru this book.
