Reviews for The Book of Saws :
George Ella Lyon--
"At once witty and wise, classic and refreshing, The Book of Saws by Steven Cope, exposes the absurdity of human pretensions. With this fabulist's light touch, he offers deep truths and helps us laugh at ourselves."
Ed McClanahan--
"Droll, pungent, quirky, disarming, irreverent, feisty, fun . . .What more can I say? A most engaging little book."
Jeff Daniel Marion--
"Steve Cope,the poet, the fiction writer,the musician,the song writer—and now Steve Cope the fabulist. Imagine Aesop, Chaucer, and Boccaccio with a contemporary twist—indeed there's enough in The Book of Saws to delight all ages. This is my favorite Steve Cope work—his reach and versatility are amazing!"
