I picked a copy of this up on spec. It's a collection of articles written for a magazine called Bad Idea which I'd never heard of. 30% are decent stories, the rest of no interest to me. I wouldn't recommend this book unless you were interested in journalism of this kind.

Reviewed it for Library Journal. Some of the pieces are good, some are terrible. Worth checking out though.
