"The all new, annotated, illustrated and even more definitive collection of laws, principles and instructions for getting along in the real world." Paul Dickson has been an independent writer for almost 50 years during which time he has produced more than 60 non-fiction books and numerous newspaper and magazine articles on a variety of subjects. His books fall into two categories: serious narrative non-fiction, including history and biography, and reference and whimsical books. Some of the books in the first category include Think Tanks, The Electronic Battlefield, Sputnik--The Shock of the Century, and The Bonus Army--An American Epic (co-authored with Thomas B. Allen.) The second category of books has helped provide the sustained income to support the first category. For example, his collection of toasts and graces has sold over 400,000 books in hardback since it was first published in 1981 and is still selling well. The Dickson Baseball Dictionary was picked by the Wall Street Journal as one of the "5 Best" books on the sport in 2012.
