Thumbing Through Thoreau - Book Review

If you are in need of a great gift idea for a book lover...
Look no further!
Thumbing Through Thoreau is what you need.
This book would be great as a coffee table book or one to add to a library.

Thumbing Through Thoreau is the most comprehensive collection of Thoreau!
What makes it even better?
Jay Luke and Ren Adams take their own interpretation of each of the quotes and do an illustration for each one.
What you get is an original piece of artwork and a Thoreau quote on each page...

The book is broken down into three sections...
Section One deals with Society and Goverment.
Section Two ... Spirituality and Nature
and Section Three... Love.

Also, at the end of the book, they have included an index.
Need to look it up based on America? You can....
Or Journey? Got that as well.
They even have Wisdom thrown in there!

There are several of Henry David Thoreau quotes I like...
But I will share a just a couple with you.
(Hey, you can go buy the book to experience it all!)

Thoreau hit it on the head with......
"It is never too late to give up our prejudices."

"Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me the truth."

I will end with this:

"The stars are God's dreams, thoughts remembered in the silence of his night."
