"You're definitely from Texas if you can see yourself in Nick Anderson's wonderful cartoons and still laugh at who we are and where we come from. This book should be given to every new immigrant to our state so they'll know what they're in for."

— Lawrence Wright, Pulitzer Prize winning author, screenwriter, playwright, and a staff writer for The New Yorker magazine, said about You Might Be From Texas If ...

In Texas if somebody's lucky right out of the chute we say "He always draws the best bulls." But, nope. Nick Anderson draws the best bulls. Best horses too. Best hats. Best hair . . .

— Elizabeth Crook, author of the Raven's Bride, _ e Night Journal, and Monday.
