Synopsis

From international best-selling author Bradley Trevor Greive, a revised edition of the classic gift book celebrating friendship that has sold over 1/2 million copies, featuring newly hand-colored photos throughout and additional jacket enhancements.

Friends and life. Life and friends. As New York Times best-selling author Bradley Trevor Greive points out inside this updated edition of Friends To The End: The True Value of Friendship, the two are so tightly interwoven that it's impossible to imagine one being remotely worthwhile without the other. Newly hand-colored photographs and author-illustrated end papers have been fused with BTG's witty trademark narrative to explore the daily magic we experience through our friends.

What makes friends so special? What does our choice of friends say about us? What sparks the best friendships and keeps them burning? Friends to the End examines why we can't live without friends, how great friendships grow from humble beginnings, how to identify different types of friendships, what to do when good friends turn bad, and why it's all so worthwhile. As BTG explains, "When I think back to all the really great or the horrendously bad times in my life, I can't help but think about how my friends made the former all the more enjoyable and the latter at least survivable. I want this book to help people appreciate friendship for all it is and all it can be."

About this title

About the Author:

Since the debut of his international bestseller The Blue Day Book, Bradley Trevor Greive has become a household name in more than 115 countries. A former Australian paratrooper, BTG left the army to pursue more creative misadventures. He has been bitten by wild monkeys and rabid bats and was accepted into Russia's cosmonaut training program--though those incidents were, by and large, unrelated. BTG spends most of his time in a tiny Tasmanian hamlet.

Review:

"In Friends to the End, I have tried to address some of the profound and amusing aspects of friendship in a way that offers pause for thought and more than a few reasons to laugh out loud. I hope this little book helps us all appreciate those people in our lives whom we both adore and sometimes want to strangle, but at the end of the day, we simply couldn't live without--our friends."
