Rating: - What fun!
I thoroughly enjoyed this little book. It's easy to read and reminds us what not to do. Very good for people just starting out in the field.

#17 Being clumsy: Basicly their adwise is - Don't be ;-)
#100 Forgetting Your Glasses: One of their adwises - Have corrective eye surgery...
Well they had to make it to 101 advices! My advice #1 on writing books ... Read More
