He who understands the limits of life knows that things which remove pain arising from need are easy to obtain, and furnish a complete and optimal life. Thus he no longer needs things that are troublesome to attain.

 ^^ stumbled upon a copy-paste 2 reviews from amazon.com Brolliology: A History of the Umbrella in Life and Literature Hardcover – Illustrated, November 7, 2017 by Marion Rankine (Author) Jon Lieber 4.0 out of 5 stars fun, but wow, so many typos Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2023 The book is fun & interesting. But I'm astounded by the typos, especially the mangled hyphens - I've never encountered a book with so many typos. What happened?? Pauline Wiles 3.0 out of 5 stars Too highbrow for me Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2020 Aside from the nasty printing / typesetting errors with mangled hyphens, the content and writing were both too earnest for me. I had hoped for a lighthearted read: this is more scholarly, and unnecessarily sprinkled with tough vocabulary. But I enjoyed the plentiful illustrations, and will pay more attention to brollies in my future reading.
