Book Reviews of Basic Black: The Essential Guide for Getting Ahead at Work (and in Life)

Book Review: GOOD info !
Summary: 5 Stars

I have read half of this book - just got it. She is a good storyteller. It is easy to read and entertaining. Most importantly, she is a tough cookie who has manuevered in the cut throat world of publishing and climbed to the TOP. SHe has a lot of good advice of how to act or not react in the corporate world. I highly recommend this book - highly. Esp. if you have been in work situations where you didn't know how to save yourself from "political machinations."
