[Slow Culture Magazine]

Pocket wisdom at its finest.

[Kelly]

I didn't get the meaning of all of them, but they were fantastic all the same!

[Soki]

Cute book of proverbs, nothing too hard hitting. Only a sentence and a picture to go with each one.

[Malvika]

Delightful Proverbs! I got them all, except one but Galef provides related English proverbs at the back so I didn't have a lot of problem.
Also, absolutely loved Jun Hashimoto's art!

Wished there were more. 100 is not enough!
