Bridal Shower gift: A collection of marriage advice for the bride-to-be from a number of married ladies. The cover page is a drawing of the bride wearing a pearl headpiece, based on a photograph taken of her at her traditional wedding.

Helen Greer's new book, '50 Pearls of Wisdom' is set to help women everywhere be the perfect mother of the bride. Being the perfect mother of the bride isn't easy. In fact, there are days when it can seem absolutely impossible. Up until now there has been very little advice available to the mother of the bride. The main focus and advice is mainly given to the daughter as her special day approaches. While this is understandable, without her mother, the bride's day wouldn't run quite so smoothly. Helen Greer was inspired to write 50 Pearls of Wisdom after her own mother of the bride experiences. She recalls: "There were times when I felt so frustrated because I just didn't know what was expected of me. I researched online and found very little information available. It was a stressful time and it made me want to share my new found knowledge so other women wouldn't find it as draining as I did." The book focuses on everything from choosing the right outfit to dealing with daughter melt downs and socialising with the in-laws. Separated into small snippets, it's easy to flick through and find tips as and when you need them. The last thing you want when you're stressed is to read through long paragraphs until you find the information you need. This book is designed to be a helpful guide you can call upon whenever you get stuck. If you're looking to be the perfect mother of the bride, 50 Pearls of Wisdom can help. No longer will you be left wondering what is expected of you or how you should handle a certain situation. The book contains real advice from somebody who has been there and who has gained insider knowledge on what is expected of you. It's a book that every mother of the bride should own.

Enter the mystical and magical world of the internet sensation ME Pearl, the psychic squirrel deity, and her human mouthpiece Georgette, YouTube's famous "opossum lady." Pearl is a dead squirrel who knows everything. With the aid of her earthly mouthpiece Georgette Spelvin, Pearl has been sharing her psychic wisdom with her human disciples for years, delving into topics as varied and complex as love, money, work, health, and etiquette. Once hidden in the delightful corners of the internet for the canniest lurkers and most sacred seekers on the website MEPearl.com, Pearl’s cosmology now comes to life in print for the first time ever, revealing for the masses the secret for everlasting happiness, in addition to a newly-unearthed trove of Pearl’s bewitching, incisive, and illuminating advice that makes sense of every ancient—and current—mystery. With the same “delightfully peculiar” (New York magazine) flair that has made Pearl and Georgette sensations online and had videos of them featured on shows such as The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Pearls of Wisdom welcomes readers into the bewildering and addictive world of ME Pearl—one rife with Jackie O. glamour, David Lynch lunacy, marsupial melodrama, and psychedelic spirituality. Proffering new insights on everything from wildlife to the afterlife, Pearls of Wisdom is a true sacred text for the internet age—if not eternity.
