Better Small Talk (Version: Other)

[Piers · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lots of wisdom here, though there's the occasional "flavour of the month" article, which isn't all that surprising in a collection of magazine articles. Kent's thoughts on each article written as he assembled the book are worth reading too.
