80: From Ben Bradlee to Lena Horne to Carl Reiner, Our Most Famous Eighty Year Olds, Reveal Why They Never Felt So Young Hardcover – September 1, 2007

This was supposed to be a new item and is a gift for my mother. Unfortunately, there was a sticky substance on the front and back covers. The sticky stuff on the back was clearly from a sticker being removed, but the stuff on the front wasn’t. Something was spilled on it and there were fingerprints in it. So gross! So I deducted two stars for the poor handling.

I bought it as a gift for someone who turned 80. Great short chapters (2 - 4 pages) on various famous people giving their views of the past and their futures. You can sit down and have a fun read for as long or as short a period that you want. I was able to write a short birthday wish note on the inside cover to personalize it.

I bought this as a gift for my father's 80th birthday. He has truly enjoyed reading the stories by others his age. Inspirational. It is not a new book, but he still enjoyed reading it.

Purchased as a gift for my kid brother on his 80th. Haven't had any feedback from him yet, but he seemed to like the idea of it. Thought it was a little pricey for what it was…but it's not heavy; he's my bro.

Makes you feel good to read about older individuals who are doing so well!Bravo! Really enjoyed reading the book!

This book was such an inspiration. I am 43 and so hope I can live until I'm 80+. The participants were honest, good and bad, about growing old in such a youth crazed world. I am going to buy at least 4 copies, from Amazon of course, for Christmas presents this year. A great wealth of knowledge.

I gave this to my grandmother for her 89th birthday. She raved about it! Called me the next day to tell me story after story. She said she read it twice L'Chaim!

Enjoyed when I turned 80 2 years ago....needed some support!

Sadly not as insightful as I would have hoped for all this combined experience.
