A HANDY GUIDE FULL OF HOW-TO TIPS AND SAGE ADVICE FROM
GRANDFATHERS
As members of the Greatest
Generation, our grandfathers were not only defined by the
Depression but also by their heroic service to the country
in World War II. Courageous, responsible, and involved, they
understand sacrifice, hard work, and how to do whatever is
necessary to take care of their loved ones. They also know
how to have a rollicking good time. Sensible, fun, and
inspiring, How to Build a Fire offers a rare glimpse
into the hearts and minds of grandfathers near and far by
sharing their practical skills and sweet stories on how to
be stronger, smarter, richer, and happier. Inside are more
than one hundred essential step-by-step tips for fixing,
leading, prospering, playing, and hosting, including how
to
• buck up and be brave in the face of
adversity
• play hard and break in a baseball mitt
•
bait a hook and catch a big fish
• look dapper and tie
a perfect tie
• get a raise and earn more
• write a
love letter and kindle romance
• change a flat tire and
save the day
• stand up and give a sparkling toast
• play the harmonica and make your own music
Loaded with charming illustrations, good humor, and warm
nostalgia, How to Build a Fire is the perfect
handbook for guys or gals of any age. The first of its kind,
this collection of our grandfathers’ hard-earned wisdom will
help you build confidence and get back to what’s really
important in life.
