The cartoon-like format of this book is unfortunately an appropriate medium for the level of information it contains. The advice was at times ridiculously obvious (i.e. don't spill food on the person next to you on the plane, or don't get drunk at your client's home). What I found particularly frustrating, however, was an underlying thread of real, valuable expertise, which somehow never broke through the cutesy presentational style. I believe author Knitter really has the experience to share significant and helpful advice - but he didn't take the time or text-space to do it.

This book has a lot of good advice (albeit not great) and offers some ideas and help for the business traveler. But..... I agree with another reviewer that the format is unappropriate and at times frustrating.

I would much rather have the raw facts and advice and skip the cartoons.

Some of the advice in this book is just too silly and not worth the ink because hopefully all of us have basic common sense (i.e. don't get drunk at a clients....please!).

It's an interesting book if you can get past the silliness. There are good points that all business travelers should be aware of to help them suceed while on the road.

Most of us develop the tricks and shortcuts of travel by trial and error. With this clever book, business travelers can now learn the techniques of seasoned business people to make their time on the road more productive and enjoyable. Tom Butler - President, American Floral Service, Inc.
