Book Synopsis

"Bob" has ranked among the top ten male names since the first U.S. Census in 1790, and more than five million American men identify themselves by some form of the name. Author Tom Crisp, whose older brother got the name from their father, channels his sibling regrets by compiling more than 500 quotes from 250 of the world's most famous (and infamous) "Bobs," including Robert the Bruce, Robert E. Lee, Bob Dole, Bob Marley, Robert Frost, Bobby Locke, Bob Dylan, Robert Duvall, Robert F. Kennedy, Bob Fosse, Robert Browning, and many more. Celebrate the innate "Bobness" that exists in 34 out of every 1,000 American men with The Book of Bob.
