4.0 out of 5 stars Decent book, misleading title, 2 Oct 2008
Good introduction to proverbs for non-native speakers. The illustrations are fun and will help them stick in the memory.

However, don't be misled by the "American" in the title - almost all these proverbs can be heard across the English speaking world. For example, "possession is 9/10 of the law" is a reference to old English common law - it long predates Christopher Columbus.
