Some of the authors seem rather appropriate in light of the book titles. Remember, these books DO exist.... Read them, if you dare, and judge for yourself. * * * "How to suceed at Business Spying" by S. Mead. [note: yes, I KNOW mead wrote "How to suceed in business without really trying, the Broadway musical, you don't need to remind me...] "How to supress women's writing" by Joanna Russ "How to survive an atomic bomb" by R. Gierstele "How to survive on $50,000 to $150,000 per year" "How to take and sell erotic photographs," by Victor Wild "How to talk to your television set" by Johnston Nicolas "How to talk dirty and influence people" by Lenny Bruce "How to talk back to the telephone company: Playing the telephone game to win" by Louis J Sircio "Fine art of spying" by Ronald Seth "Gimmie: or how Politicians get Rich" "How to be a good communist" "How to do almost everything" "How to live on 24 hours a day" "How to make love in 5 languages" "How to read" * * * Incedentally, having seen the musical, I was looking for the original book "How to suceed in business without really trying" by S. Mead. Once I saw some of these titles though, I coulden't help but jot a few down. "Are you...
