My dad was a writer who actually made living doing it. I always thought that writing was the most boring job ever created for mankind. Was I ever wrong! Reading this book by Ms. Balmain I was laughing out loud, and that doesn't happen too often with me. It's funny and for some odd reason it holds a lot of truth as well, it's almost like she actually worked at the office at some point and most likely she has at least been a witness for some of the action described in the book. I truly recommend this to anyone who needs good laugh or a hell of a gift item. I just wished I was a writer and could do research on something like this, but with my luck I would be working on lock spring mecanism on Buick Riviera's gas pedal. I wonder if Ms. Balmain needs an assistant?

Required reading for any would-be office Shiva. You will never look at your mouse the same way again.

This little treasure of a book is a delectable play of the two concerns (aside from food) that dominate all of our conscious and even much of our unconscious time: work and love. The writing is entertaining, smart, and down-right hilarious. The illustrations are witty and delicate--the perfect treatment to the awkward subject of office love. This is a book that I had to read outloud to others, as well as give to anyone who thought they were getting away with illicit practice of the "40 Ways." Who would have known that delivery people, office stickies, and packing popcorn held so much potential. Work has never felt so much like play.

I have a new reverence of the supply cabinet. I had no idea what the supplies were used for and I now notice a communication style all around me that I thought were just idiosyncrasies. This book has changed my whole outlook. There are over one hundred pages of how to obtain a good position in the office. And for those that are challenged by the written word there are many colorful diagrams.

By its self this book is amusing, but combine it with the knowledge of the traditional Kama Sutra and it takes on a greater dimension.
