Whatever You Are, Be a Good One: 100 Inspirational Quotations Hand-Lettered by Lisa Congdon (Lisa Congdon x Chronicle Books)

I have given this book several times as a gift and it is always a hit. Have used it as a group "going away" gift instead of a greeting card - people around the office wrote a personalized message on the different pages. The quotes and artistry are a great combination. It's also the perfect coffee table book, waiting room book, or just to have at your desk when you need a pick me up. Highly recommend!

I bought this book with the intention of giving it to a dear family member as a thank you present, but when it arrived, I found myself wishing I had my own...so then I bought two more. This book is a great alternative to flowers or any other generic gift. I've enjoyed finding pages that remind me of friends, slipping a quick note into those pages, and mailing the book off to them to inspire and encourage them.The quotes are well-curated, the illustrations beautifully crafted, and the colors striking. Seriously, there's something here for everyone. So, for your next gift-giving occasion, you'd better skip the flowers, put down the candy, and order up this gem instead.

Saw this book at Target recently and immediately looked it up on here to order it for about $6 cheaper. I love it so much. I have been obsessed with positive, uplifting quotes for years and I was very drawn to the artwork and artistic handwriting. Great purchase. It would be a great gift for a birthday.

I bought this book as a Christmas gift to my wife because she one of those type of people in the world. It took her a day or two to get into reading it, but when she did, she rarely put it down. More than words and ink went into this little book.

This book has quotes appropriate for high school graduates, and the pages are colorful and pleasing to the eye. I agree with several other reviewers that many of the fonts are difficult to read on the first attempt.

Bought this book for graduating college students. Loved how it was illustrated! Great gift.

I purchased this book for my children. I am having all their teachers along their school years sign it.It is very colorful and pretty. I truly love it. An amazing purchase.

I got it to give as a graduation gift, and returned it. I have good eyesight, but it's hard to read! The lettering is similar to what's on the front cover throughout, but many pages have less color contrast between the page and text.

Gave this as a graduation gift... Beautifully done and written. Highly recommend!

this is a nice book and i wholly recommend it for people who would like to be reminded that the world is, in fact, a nice place

Me gusta hojearlo de vez en cuando y pensar un poco en las citas que aparecen. Preciosos dibujos y caligrafía.

Such a lovely book, beautiful illustrations and quotes. Perfect gift for my friend (which I wanted to keep for myself!!)

It's calligraphy! When design and quotes marry it becomes a great gifting idea for emotionally charged occassions.It was everything I expected. If you are expecting something like a coffeetable book with glossy pages. this is not it. I will use it for an occassional inspiration. I also use it to scan the pages and double it as inspirational screen savers.
