In this gorgeous and playfully illustrated volume, creators and besties Peggy and Susie highlight more than 100 besties, both real and fictional, from all walks of life.

Jackson and Spike Lee" <b><i>--O, The Oprah Magazine</i></b><br><br>"Full of gorgeous illustrations and odes to friendships both real and fictional, <i>Billions of Besties </i>by Peggy Panosh and Susie Arons is a celebration of the power of friendship. The book features 100 entries covering the bonds between Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, and more. Pick up a copy for yourself, and go ahead and grab one for your bestie, too, because this beautiful book will make a great gift."<b>--POPSUGAR</b><br><br>"Prefaced with a fillable bookplate "To my bestie / from your bestie," this sunny volume collects profiles of best-bud duos and cliques, be they real, fictional, or non-sentient. The besties are organized by categories, such as "Classics," (Oprah and Gayle), "Hollywood" (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid), "Changemakers" (Bill Gates and Warren Buffett), "Squads" (Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer), and "Goodies" (champagne and caviar). Wry summaries share how these friends connected and what they've come to signify in American culture. For instance, <i>The Mary Tyler Moore Show</i>'s Mary and Rhoda were TV besties "who became unlikely heroes for single working women everywhere" while Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Congressman John Lewis united under the righteous bond of "good trouble." Many pairings are lighthearted (Bert and Ernie; peanut butter and jelly; Ken and Barbie), but some are unusual bonds, such as mutual admirers Helen Keller and Mark Twain, or George Harrison and Eric Clapton, whose friendship thrived even after the latter married the former's ex-wife ("I'd rather she be with him than some dope," Harrison is quoted as saying). Opposites also attract: such as politically polar Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Antonin Scalia or "bold and capricious" Captain Kirk and "the überlogical" Mr. Spock. Panosh's simple line-art looks like it'd be at home on a greeting card passed between friends and is appropriately upbeat. This cheery package is ready-made for a just-thinking-of-you gift<b>.</b>"<b><i>--Publishers Weekly</i></b> <p/><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Peggy Panosh<b> </b>has carved a unique dual career path as both a highly respected Marketing Expert + Illustrator.
