It's really just a cute, handy place to record the birthdays of your friends and family, and the fortunes are just there for fun. Look elsewhere if you are looking for a real astrology book.
This little book is exactly like my mother's from long ago. We used it to record births, anniversaries, and even deaths of family members and friends. It's so much easier than writing the dates on a calendar every year. I recently lost a lot of information when my laptop was stolen. This book creates a lasting record, and besides, the horoscopes are fun.
I was given the same book by my mother-in-law about 49 years ago and it is getting worn. This book is basically the same. The only thing different is the space is just a little smaller to write names, otherwise I am very pleased with my book.
This book is (slightly shamefully) one of the most-often referenced books that I own. It's so much fun to read a summarized version of your friends' and family members' (and potential boyfriends', haha) personalities, and from what I've found, it's actually pretty darn accurate! Accurate or not, it's fun to read, it's elegant, and fits in the palm of your hand. A fun, inexpensive birthday gift!
But really for those who are into quirky type of things. There's not much bang for your buck.
Someone was very smart to copyright this little book which has been around for over a hundred years without change. Now it has pictures.Can do without them, but that gives the permission to put one's name on it as author. Amazing family/friend gatherings!! look up and see what happens!!!. I have found, over the 50 years I have owned mine, that the snapshots on each page are either Right On or a Complete miss! Only a few can be said to be kinda/sorta on target. The one I have, poor baby is absolutely falling apart, and loaded with family,work mate/presidential births/deaths/terms of office, etc. Great ice-breaker at gatherings. Get one and have some fun!
Enjoyed going through the book and tried to match the birth dates of my grand children with their birthdates. It was a fun read.
Didn't think they wrote these any more was so excited to find this little book.
