Karen Salmansohn is a New-Edge guru, a sassy, savvy writer with a perfect ear for the lives of young professional women, their relationships, their careers. And she is an all-around creative spirit--her hip gift books are as clever in concept as they are dead-on in execution. Quirky little treasures, Even God Is Single; I Don''t Need to Have Children, I Date Them; and How to Make Your Man Behave in 21 Days or Less... together have about 300,000 copies in print. A collection of affirmations with attitude, Quickie Stickies is Karen Salmansohn at her sharpest and most unexpectedly inspirational. This unique package is a book of 100 sayings printed on Post-ups that can be--and are meant to be--stuck anywhere and everywhere, on the fridge, the computer, a boyfriend''s briefcase, an office door, a bathroom mirror. Each is an aphorism to live by--not fatuous daily thoughts or recycled spiritual mumbo-jumbo, but sly street wit and wisdom. And each is wonderfully illustrated with retro colors and graphics. To wit: I''d rather be a role model than a supermodel, printed on the face of a bathroom scale. The only thing a gal can ever change in her man is maybe his wardrobe, next to a gingerbread man in a lime-green shirt. Live now. Procrastinate later, blinks a clock radio. On a Buddhist''s shaved head: I have to let myself know what I know, you know? In bold black type on a field of chartreuse: Be a warrior, not a worrier. And, in a candy-colored collage with a cliff, the one that sums it all up: If you''re not living on the edge, you''re taking up too much room.
