The Complete Guide to the Book of Proverbs is better.
In Search of Wisdom takes different characters from Proverbs and relates their life lessons as they relate to today. These characters include: the child, the parent, the wife, the naive, the sluggard, the wicked and the wealthy. The discussions are philisophical and insightful but tended to put me to sleep. There are no photos, illustrations or index. Hicks quotes the New American Standdard Bible. For a more reader friendly commentary on Proverbs read THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE BOOK OF PROVERBS by Cody Jones. The comments are interesting and very readable and includes many historical drawings and photos to give you a sense of the culture of the time. There is a topical guide and six translations in parallel to aid understanding.
