The Unemployed Philosophers Guild First Lines of Literature Coffee Mug - Famous Openings from Books, Novellas, and Short-Stories, Comes in a Box, 14oz

I bought one for myself, and one for a special family member. This cup is really delightful.

I purchased this mug for my daughter-in-law who is an English major. It is a perfect size with beginning quotes from literature. The quotes on the side can serve also as a fun English Literature quiz of the book titles and authors which are listed on the bottom of the mug. What a great way to enjoy a cup of coffee...Just don't spill in your haste to know if you've matched the quotes to the correct titles and authors! I definitely recommend this mug as a clever gift as well as a durable product!

First of all these mugs are beautiful: great size, keep coffee/tea warm, and First Lines of Literature...who doesn’t love that?!? If you’re a book lover or know people who are, this is a perfect gift! Additionally, I needed to contact the company and they responded incredibly quickly to resolve a minor issue. Great customer service and a fabulous mug...this Bookwoman is one happy customer. For those reasons, I’m going to buy more, for sure!

A perfect gift for a writer.

I got this mug as a Christmas present from my wife. There are so many reasons I love this mug. For starters, it is big! It holds a good amount of coffee in the morning or tea later in the day. Second, it is very well made. The cup is solid. I wouldn't say that it is heavy, but there is substance to it. I like that quality in a coffee cup. Third, the first line quotations are great. The patterning and color variations are very pleasing, and I can't help but read a few every time I use the cup. Some lines are from books that I have read many times and love while others are from stories that I have never read but have become more interested in. As a former English major and lover of literature (as well as warm beverages), I highly recommend this cup!

I bought this mug as a Christmas gift for my nana. She is a big fan of literature. She loved the mug. The mug arrived in perfect condition. It Is really great that several famous lines from different pieces of literature are on the mug. Also, the mug is a good size. It is not too small nor too big. The mug arrived on time. This mug is great for people who love literature, particularly classic novels.

Very nice cup for an English teacher! Or anyone who loves literature

A gift for my husband, a prolific reader and writer of short stories and plays. He loved it, but he won't use it as he doesn't want it to break. So, it sets on the bookshelf as a bookend next to the Pulitzer winning books. Sweet.
