I haven't encountered Lazarus Long yet, but this is a great little book of his wise sayings. Some are beautifully illuminated, but all are applicable. It is printed on thick, laid paper that's a joy to touch. If I was still at my work office, I'd be copying many of the illuminated pages.

A collection of quotes and sayings from one of Heinlein's most enduring and insightful characters. Some profound, some practical, others mildly silly.

Too much gyan!!! It was fun to read in context of the books not out of context.

Nicely done with some illuminations. Lazarus Long is a character from Robert A. Heinlein. This book is a collection of comments from him. "Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark".

This is the collection of the interstitial quotes from Time Enough for Love, nicely illuminated. It's nice to see calligraphy is not a lost art. It's a good resource to have for Lazarus Long quotes.

this is a collection of aphorisms in a special edition illuminated by calligrapher D. F. Vassallo. these bon mots at times reminded me of Twain, like expecting climate and getting weather. I like the nerdier ones like specialization being for insects and "anyone who cannot cope with mathematics is not fully human. At best he is a tolerable subhuman who has learned to wear shoes..."

Thought provoking and sometimes humorous insights into the nature of man.

Mind you, before you purchase this, you need to know that it is not a novel, but a collection of quotes and such from Lazarus Long, hence the title, although given its length, it should be 'notebook', not 'notebooks'. Some of these quotes you can find in various books with the character, but this book does come in handy because there's some pretty clever quotes here.

A very short book consisting of quotes from various books featuring the character Lazarus Long. Very amusing and thoughtful.

Quotes from 'Notebooks' appear just about everywhere. Entire copies of this book are available on many websites. The best thing about the quotes is their original context... which this volume strips away entirely.

The contents of this book are merely an excerpt from Heinlein's 'Time Enough For Love,' the magnum opus that gives us the most complete view available of Heinlein's beloved protagonist Lazarus Long. Read as coming from that romantically pragmatic survivalist curmudgeon (can any one person fit that description?), the quotes in 'Notebooks' provide a great nostalgic glimpse into LL's travels across time and space.
