Product Description

The CUBS Fan's Guide to Happiness: Imparts important truths relevant to Cubs fans and their woeful existence - vital lessons like:

* There's Always Next Year (Chapter 1) * Loyaltiness is Next to Godliness (Chapter 6) * Beer Will Make It Better! (Chapter 2)

This book reveals what makes Cubs fans tick and what keeps them happy. It explains why it's not over until you're mathematically eliminated, why winning really isn't everything, and why it's perfectly acceptable to blame all your troubles on a scapegoat, which may or may not be an actual goat. This book is for anyone who wants to be happy in the face of adversity. And if there's anyone who can teach that lesson, it's certainly a lifetime Cubs fan.

From the Publisher
"If life is like baseball, as this book slyly hints, that makes sense. If life is like being a Cubs fan, as it cruelly implies, then we should all just reach for the cyanide pills. The Cubs Fan's Guide to Happiness is one of the funniest books I have ever read, since crying isn't an option. George Ellis has given the vast, shambling Cubs Nation reason to live. Other than beer." -Chicago Sun-Times columnist RICK TELANDER "This book helps explain how it is that Cubs fans remain fiercely loyal while somewhat maintaining their sanity. And in true Heckler from, George Ellis kids because he loves...I think." -Chicago Cubs TV ply-by-play announcer LEN KASPER "Can I get four more copies of this book? They stack real good and my couch is missing a leg."
