Editorial : About the Author Brian Andreas is an artist, sculptor and storyteller, who works with new forms of human community.

Born in 1956 in Iowa City, Iowa, he holds a B.A. from Luther College, in Decorah, Iowa, and an M.F.A. in Fiber and Mixed Media from John F. Kennedy University in Orinda, California. He lives with his wife, Ellen Rockne, and their two wild and beautiful boys in the Midwest, where they make art and soup and stories as often as they can.
This is the second book, first published in 1994. It includes over 80 stories and drawings. Many of our collectors have said this book expands on the laughter and lunacy of the first book, Mostly True. It includes such favorites as 'Angels of Mercy' ("Most people don't know there are angels whose only job is to make sure you don't get too comfortable & fall asleep & miss your life") and 'True Things' ("they came to sit & dangle their feet off the edge of the world & after awhile they forgot everything but the good & true things they would do someday").
Tillman. So when I heard about a book titled "The Tiger Woods Way - Secrets of Tiger Woods' Power-Swing Technique", I rushed out and ordered it from the States.
While there are some interesting observations on Tiger's set up and swing listed in the book, I thought the book came up short. The paper is strange and one can see the sewn thread of the binding.
But the text. The first of these, 'Selections from A Zen Phrase Anthology,' gives us 210 'jakugo' or 'capping phrases' from the 'Zenrin Kushu,' an anthology of famous and beautiful lines "from Buddhist sutras, the records of the Chinese Zen patriarchs, Confucian texts, Taoist writings, and the works of Chinese poets" (page 79).
The Japanese student often memorizes abridged versions of the 'Zenrin Kushu' "for within its thousands of phrases he must find the particular traditional "capping phrase" for the koan he is studying, and present it to his teacher as the final step in his study of the koan" (page 80)
