A New York Times Notable Book "In an era of jet tourism, Jonathan Raban] remains atraveler-adventurer in the tradition of . . . Robert Louis Stevenson."
--The New York Times Book Review In 1782 an immigrant with the high-toned name J. Hector St. John de Cr vecoeur--"Heartbreak" in English--wrote a pioneering account of one European's transformation into an American. Some two hundred years later Jonathan Raban, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award, arrived in Cr vecoeur's wake to see how America has paid off for succeeding generations of newcomers. The result is an exhilarating, often deliciously funny book that is at once a travelogue, a social history, and a love letter to the United States.
In the course of Hunting Mr. Heartbreak, Raban passes for homeless in New York and tries to pass for a good ol' boy in Alabama (which entails "renting" an elderly black lab). He sees the Protestant work ethic perfected by Korean immigrants in Seattle--one of whom celebrates her new home as "So big So green So wide-wide-wide "--and repudiated by the lowlife of Key West. And on every page of this peerlessly observant work, Raban makes us experience America with wonder, humor, and an unblinking eye for its contradictions. "Raban delivers himself of some of the most memorable prose ever written
about urban America." --Henry Kisor, Chicago Sun-Times "When Raban describes America and Americans, he is unfailingly witty
and entertaining." --Salman Rushdie

Perfect hand cream
Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I first bought the small tube that didn't last long. Then I purchased the larger tube so I wouldn't run out. I love the lemon scent and the cream is perfect to keep my hands soft and moisturized. You can't go wrong with this product. I highly recommend it.

The Lemon smell is very Faint, but nice lotion
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Its nice and light weight. Not thick or too oily. The lemon scent is there, but the sent is also very faint. I would purchase this again, but nothing to brag about.

It works!
Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My husband and I both love this handcream. It smells wonderful and gets fully absorbed into the skin. My son works in a golf course and his hands are in water and mud all the time and get very dried out in the winter. And he loves this stuff.

Great product and bottle
I discovered JR Watkins products when our neighbor became CEO and gave us a few of their products. I see they've been in business since the 1800s and the products are derived from plants.
I like the spray/foam options and use the spray most often, spraying items I'm hand-washing.
We don't get more free stuff and I'm happy to buy it, usually in bulk for refills.
