Title: Why I Hate This Flying Book
Product review: Publishers are wrapping small books that may not be worth a softcover in a business hardcover to give the author (and publisher)stature. This $...diminutive edition is title driven but once you open the book, the drive is dead. It would easy to say academics are self-indulgent and humorless but this book builds the stereotype. The first clue is the use of his mother with one of those cute quotes "Well, let them laugh, Henry. You can always try again." on the back cover. You can point to any page to find similar ... humor - "The food is taking so long it as though they are out catching the fish -" Page 69. The leading thinker's preening egotism is unfortunate in that the subtitle promised real humor can be found in a business under terrific strain. The publisher must owe the author a book. Based on this book, I would avoid his management seminars as well.
