Customer Reviews

One of the finest efforts ever put forth on paper.

While some of the ideas discussed in this book are no longer in vogue, this book is so cleverly written and insightful that it would hardly be to exaggerate by saying that it ought to be required reading. The 13 page introduction alone is worth the $27 dollar asking price.
