Reviews

[Josh Clement · Rating 5 out of 5]

Picked this up in a second hand bookstore in Philadelphia.

Every page made me think, smile or both.

Published 30 years ago, so you’ll have to adjust prices for inflation, and forgive the Miami Vice references.

I think this would be a great gift for a man in early 20s - first job out of college age.
