By	Richard Miners (New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Andrea Nierenberg is the Queen of Networking. Once again she has written a book that gives valuable, insightful, and practical information. Her suggestions and observations in Savvy Networking translate to networking that works. She takes the mystery and the difficulty out of networking. I have read her other books which were also helpful. Her new book is well worth reading and buying for friends and family. No matter what we do we network. This book helps do it right. Thank you, Andrea.
