Review title: Only buy if you want 170 blank pages Product review: This is a total rip-off!I've read 7 Habits of Highly Effective People a number of times and thought this was going to be a kind of support book - things to concentrate on different days or weeks, a bit of how-to - but no. This is a blank journal with a few quotes from 7 Habits (and related books) interspersed. If you have 7 Habits or some other related Covey book, you already know everything that is printed in this journal. Just go to Officeworks or OfficeMax and buy a blank notebook for 79 cents. Job done.After buying some expensive Franklin Covey software a few years ago that caused catastrophic crashes on my computer (and I understand I'm far from the only one), with no support from Franklin Covey at all, it took until now to try another Covey product. Unfortunately, I got burned again with this lazy, misleading effort.Save your money. As for you, Stephen Covey, you should be embarrassed.

Review title: great book Product review: I came to buy a second book for a friend (I've had my copy for a month), and saw the review by Publisher's Weekly. Just because the Onion claims to be the new National Lampoon doesn't make it so. They are great at paroding the news but the lampoon has done sooooo much more. As far as un-PC goes it doesn't get any better than this. Very funny!

Review title: beautiful glasses, company may replace if broken Product review: I've seen lots of comments on how wonderful these glasses are and how they can break easily. I was visiting a friend in Australia when I first encountered these glasses and liked them so much I had to pick up a set. They work really well keeping liquids hot (I use mine for tea) or cold (if you prefer beer). My Australian friend had one break when she used a metal spoon in it, she contacted Bodum and they replaced the glass for free, so...Bodum also has great customer service (granted, I don't know if anyone else has had a glass replaced for free, but if you are careful and your glass still breaks, it could be worth calling the manufacturer).
