Reader Comments (as noted by the publisher):

Senator Bob Dole:
"I could have used a book like this a long time ago! I think it's excellent."

Dr. C. Everett Koop, former US Surgeon General:
"An inspirational read for anyone who has a permanent or temporary handicap to overcome-it doesn't have to be the loss of function of a hand. The book also provides insights for those who provide care and assistance to individuals trying to make it in spite of a handicap."

Patricia Neal, actress, massive stroke survivor, and founder of Rehabilitation hospitals in the US and Britain:
"It seems a very good book if you have lost the use of parts of your body. It is a great thing to have."

The easiest way I have found to tie a neck tie one handed is to lay it down in front of you then tie as you would normally. Allan Larson, Saskatoon, SK, Canada
