Texas Got It Right!

I have known Sam Wyly since 1957 when we both worked in the Dallas IBM office. He became a very creative entrepreneur in various industries which gave him the knowledge and experience to author "Texas Got It Right" ! His brother Charles (who died in an accident in Aspen, Colorado) was great partner with complementary skills which provideded the balance often needed in the entrepreneurial world. As a businessman in Texas for many years, I found the book very interesting and informative. Congratulations, Sam.

I first saw this book at my Dentist's office, paged through it, and decided I needed it. I have bought multiple copies so I have some to give to relatives who are not Texas natives. This is a fun read, meaning it has a lot of graphs, charts, photos etc etc I have learned multiple things about Texas that I never knew. I have been here 28 years and have traveled many miles in Texas alwayslearning news things about this wonderful state. Thank you Sam Wyly for compiling all this information for us.

I read this book in the waiting room at the allergy doctor's office. (Have to wait 20 minutes after you get your allergy shot.) It is so interesting on a variety of topics, stories, accomplishments, etc. After reading it, I had to have my own copy. It makes you proud to be a Texan after reading it. I highly recommend it.

This book is worthwhile because we forget all the good things that go on sometime. However, the book was written by two rich men who are privileged and maybe don't know that there are a lot of hungry people(and many children) without jobs, insurance, housing or a multitude of necessities in Texas as well.

I am not completely through reading this book but, as a native Texan, I am enjoying the Texas historical and informational bits. It's clear in the writing that the author is not entirely objective or unbiased but hopefully all of his facts are accurate. The book is kind of a "Readers Digest" format so it is easy to pick up, read a few sections, and set it down for later.

I was invited to a gathering over a holiday weekend BBQ. I say this book on his coffee table, sat down and read the whole book at one time. Could not put it down. My friends thought I was being rude. Could not help it. I have bought three of these books and have given them to business friends as coffee table books. A great read!

Easy to read, amusing in some instances, and well worth the price. I liked the format - a short "story" on each page with pictures. I gave 2 away to guys in my family...I assure you they will like it.

Great book on how Texas has remained active in creating jobs and a good economy. It compares Texas to California, where many are leaving the state to find jobs and a more affordable living in Texas.
