Book Review: The New Well-Tempered Sentence
When I was in grade school, we had this small (but disturbingly thick) hardcover grammar book. It was a horrible mustard yellow hue.

I realise it’s never going to be the same [...]Book Reveiw: The Word of Mouth Manual: Volume II
The Word of Mouth Manual: Volume II is the second book by Dave Balter, the CEO and founder of BzzAgent, a Boston-based word of mouth marketing company.

They can save your [...]Book Review: The Girl’s Guide to Kicking Your Career Into Gear
So, I think I’ve mentioned this before: I don’t like pink books for “girls”. They bother me. For one, I don’t like pink. Second, I’m not twelve.
