This book came to life after a series of intensive interviews over time with a great number of people who lived through the Great Depression and remembered favorite phrases that they had often used, and others that had often heard. Both were remembered with great delight. Further probing often brought other long forgotten phrases to the surface, with additional delight to both sides of the interviews. The results produced this Journal that depicts a time when conversation was Paramount and greatly valued. Often conversation was the only source of news and communication, as well as an important source of entertainment that all could share. Consequently talk lived a 'life of it's own' with these wonderful and expressive sayings ever present. We have authenticated them all, and present them here, warts and all. You may not want to leave the book on the coffee table for out of town relatives to browse.
