The Book of Observations by contemporary artist, Douglas Schwartz, is based upon his popular Schwartz Shirts website. Intended for mature readers, The Book of Observations creatively expresses Douglas' views of life through his original and insightful observations which range from humorous to philosophical and at times combine elements of both. Some will make you laugh a little, while others will make you think a lot.

Douglas provides an introduction to the book as well as introductions to each of the sixteen sections, and also shares closing comments.
