Hot off the press- new creative book!
« on: July 23, 2004, 10:28:17 AM »
My friend told me about the greatest new book and said it was like the Cliffs Notes to Life. Now I want to share my excitement.  Check the book website out at

http://www.theexpertsguideto.com/

The book is a compilation of 100 short how-to essays written by top experts in the subject, Donald Trump writes a chapter on negotiating and Bobby Flay writes on Barbecuing. It is so much fun and so creative. I just bought and advance copy on amazon and i know it will be my christmas gift this season. let me know what you think!

ah... spam. We used to get a lot of this on the MOB. it's what you get when you don't have to be registered to post.

At least this one is (relatively) relevant. my instinct is still to delete it.

Ah, leave it.  There are authors here on the site, and none of us are above such shameless promotion.

How are we supposed to let her know what we think?  She doesn't have a valid e-mail and she claims to not be the author....

Let's resort to grade-school tactics and make fun of her name instead!

Well, she IS named Barbara, though she's CALLED Barbie. But I generally call her Barb. Or Barba.
