LARGE PRINT edition.

Blessed are the engineers who give us some answers to life's little perplexities.

This is the #1 Best Selling, Pinnacle Award Recipient. Mister B's jaunty calculating rhythm offers timely subject matter. Mister B proves he could care less about being politically correct. That's not his style.

A tender little laugh, a swept floor in reticence, a literary window into the home of a surviving physicist and his caregiver.

Can these multi-generational housemates discover why they still matter? Find out now, for a celebration of full life.

PRAISE FOR MISTER B:

Mister B springs from earthbound corners of immigration and poverty in rope-tied-baggy pants, into a self-made man who learns to defy gravity. Born in 1916, Joseph Byk, the Rhode Island son of Polish immigrants, charms the bejeebers out of the Greatest Generation, World War II, and the Cold War. In 2013, an old man's new companion begins to journal Mister B's bygone era. His family ideals confront the independence of a younger generation as he reveals a lifetime of secrets.

"Who is helping whom?" is the million-dollar question. This instructive and comedic memoir of story shorts on aging offers historic photographs. It can be found in the grumpy ol' men's section at your local bookstore.

Living with a 98-Year-Old Rocket Scientist inspires us to learn from history and science and to give a little more to multi-generational relationships.
