It's a quick ...

Immediately after watching the book trailer, and reading the blog it’s based on, 1000 Awesome Things, I knew I had to purchase The Book of Awesome.I was so excited about this book that I started talking to my friends about it as soon as I ordered it, which is unusual for me. One individual said it s...
