Editorial Reviews

Review
"Got Beans?" is a delightful and light-hearted look at the personal issues that Y2K presents. Finally, we have a book that you can give to friends and family without fear of being branded a survivalist. I love the liberal use of top ten lists and the "good news" "bad news" treatment that makes the practical steps contained in "Got Beans?" all the more digestible." -- Steve Davis, Davis Logic

"Got Beans?" is the epitome of the "half-full glass." With time running out before Y2K, it's time for everyone to make the best of a bad situation. This book does it." -- John Yellig, Editor, Westergaard Year 2000 Daily Email Alert

"It is wonderful. Got Beans is both entertaining and educational. In less than 100 pages, this primer gives answers to the most frequently asked Y2K questions. I plan to make it required reading in my office." -- Chuck Lanza, Miami-Dade Emergency Management

"Lots of important information presented in a fun style. Easy to read!" -- Robert D. Reed, Author and International Marketing Consultant.

Product Description
50 ways to deal with everything from a faulty electric bill and stinky garbage to food and fuel shortages.

Book discusses problems with power, water, food, health, money and transportation with a good news/bad news approach. Also includes great top ten lists, technical background in layman's terms, and a year 2000 web links page.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book got me through the Y2K crisis, February 3, 2000
By A Customer
Boy am I ever glad I had this book. When society collapsed at midnight 12/31/99, I was the only one in my neighborhood who was prepared. When the power went out, phone service stopped, water shut off, and planes started falling out of the sky, I was unafraid, as I knew what to do!

By the way, does anyone wanna buy 5,000 cans of beans?

5.0 out of 5 stars Give this to a friend!, April 7, 1999
By A Customer
I am into Y2K big time but can't get my friends to listen to me. I felt frustrated until I got them to read this book. It's not threatening at all. The humor helps get the message across as well as offer some good ideas.

3.0 out of 5 stars Useful for the clueless; useless for the Y2K-savvy, April 2, 1999
By A Customer
If you're tuned in to the Y2K problem, this little book is a waste of your time (all five minutes). However, if you're looking for a way to tune others in, and those others may have a short attention span or a tendency to freak when confronted by recommendations from folks like FEMA or the Red Cross, this is the book to give them.
