Michael: I was shuffling thru Google tonight and found your January review of my book Work the System.: The Simple Mechanics of Making More and Working Less. You were thorough and I appreciate your tenacity in sticking it out thru the book. I found a publisher and the hard cover (temendously) re-edited version hit the book stores May 1st. The publisher’s editors guided and dragged me thru some major revisions, as you can imagine. It’s shorter and reds much easier. Please allow me to send you a copy. (I need an address).
Again, thanks for your kind and thoughtful words. Let me know if I can return the favor.
I love your Blog, BTW and have bookmarked it.
