From the Series Editor

I went to the bookstore but was shocked by how much the publishing world had changed. At a place where wit and intelligence had once been celebrated, dummies were now venerated. What happened?

… that was a different problem. Actually, I made a few phone calls and got some really talented friends to write books that clever people wouldn't be ashamed to read. We called the series "Spring Into…"because all the good names were already taken.

With Spring Into…, we feel that we've created the perfect series for busy professionals. However, there's the rubwe can't be sure unless you tell us. Maybe we're hitting the ball out of the park and straight through the uprights, bending it like Beckham, and finding nothing but net. On the other hand, maybe we've simply spun a twisted ball of clichés. Only you can tell us. Therefore, if anythingpositive or negativeis on your mind about these books, please email me at

I promise not to add you to any email lists, spam you, or perform immoral acts with your address.

Sincerely,
Barry
