Summary: Nothing More, Nothing Less
Review: If you know what to expect from this book, you won't be disappointed. In fact, that holds true for all of the books in th "Things a Man Should Know..." series (there is another on how to dress, for example).What you should expect first is a small book, both in page count and it's physical deminsions. Second, the advice inside is presented machine-gun style--a rapid-fire series of short quips and quotes. Some of them are fairly funny and some of them are actually very useful, and they all deliver legitimate and correct advice. While the lessons inside are important for anyone in business, this book might be best suited as a gift for a graduating college student, providing an easy-to-digest primer for that first important business lunch or meeting. There are certainly scores of books that offer advice that is just as good, if not better, with more detail and more context. And if you have been in the business world for a few years and have had your share of meetings with clients or important interviews, there isn't too much you'll learn from this little book. However, if you or someone you know wants an inexpensive, hip, and up-to-date collection of advice on how to behave in today's business world, that's pretty much exactly what you'll get here--nothing more, nothing less.
