Gibbs M. Smith always wanted to be a history professor. But while in pursuit of his master’s degree, Smith wrote a dissertation on Joe Hill–American labor martyr, proletarian folk hero, and songwriter–that profoundly changed his life. After the book was published by the University of Utah press and made into a movie, Gibbs started entertaining the idea of starting his own publishing company. While riding a cable car in San Francisco and contemplating this venture, he wrote Alfred Knopf a letter. "In my view, he was the greatest publisher in America," reflects Smith. Knopf wrote back with words of encouragement; later they spoke over the phone. Gibbs now had the inspiration needed to embark upon this extraordinary entrepreneurial adventure. In 1969, Gibbs and his wife, Catherine, started the company known today as Gibbs Smith, Publisher. With $12,000 in cash earned from the Smiths’ work on the movie Joe Hill, the company published four initial books, which would be used as supplementary texts in college history classes. The first few years were tough, as Gibbs and his wife, Cathy, ran the company out of their studio apartment in Santa Barbara.
In 1973, the company relocated to Utah, where Gibbs and Cathy reinvested profits back into the business and lived on savings. They spent the first summer there converting an old barn (built in 1916) on the family farm into offices. It was a race against time, as the barn had no roof and winter was rapidly approaching. During that summer they also managed to publish a new textbook, Utah’s Heritage. This proved to be a very wise decision, as the company’s textbook division provided financial stability during the early years.

A small, sweet book that reminds us to be thankful and grateful and ways to express it. It includes many quotes. One I particularly liked is attributed to Oscar Wilde, as follows: "The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention."
The book is printed on high-quality paper and the illustrations are great. This would make a lovely gift when a special thank you is in order or to someone you are most grateful to have in your life.

This book was absolutely adorable! It's a collection of quirky quotes that express gratitude and affection, accompanied by fun illustrations. It's the type of book you'd find on a rack at the bookstore, next to the greeting cards and mini calendars. That's an apt suggestion- this would make a great gift for a loved one, as a reminder that you care.

I won a copy of 'Preciate Cha! Illustrated by Sky Hatter in a goodreads giveaway. This is a cute little book of affirmations, sayings and quotes on gratitude and thanks. The colors are bold and it’s a good way to think about thankfulness. It reminds me of a pocket size version of coffee table books so a good fit for fans of these styles.
