{"product_id":"live-and-be-young-vance-thompson-9781596054646","title":"Live and Be Young","description":"Truly, this 1920 guidebook to maintaining a cheerful, youthful outlook is full of helpful advice. Take this to heart: \"Rich people are, nine times out of ten, pleasanter, kindlier, better bred, and less selfish than poor folk-they can afford to be; and they are more enjoyable playmates and steadier friends.\" But be careful: \"If you indulge your emotional nature too much, you run the risk of becoming either a musician or possibly a poet. These are all right but not for normal people.\" A breathtaking artifact of an era not so bygone as it should be, this is a laugh-out-loud hilarious-if unintentionally so-defense of privilege, conformity, vapidity, and social discrimination. Also available from Cosimo Classics: Thompson's Drink and Be Sober. VANCE THOMPSON (1862-1925) is also the author of Eat and Grow Thin and The Ego Book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vance Thompson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1596054646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781596054646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cosimo Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Vance Thompson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46962649563391,"sku":"9781596054646","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_286b3cf5-3d9a-4ee4-93d6-1d88e52eb4a8.jpg?v=1750652105","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/live-and-be-young-vance-thompson-9781596054646","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
