One of my favorite books. I read it again every couple of years. Great insight on how people think.

When I find them in thrift stores, I buy them to give away. I couldn't find my copy yesterday, so ordered another one. I definitely would recommend it.I am a book junkie, when I am not reading books, I am researching books to add to may list. And I like to order 2 or 3 at a time, mostly from Thriftbooks.com and like the anticipation of new books on the way in the mail.
