Recensioner

Organization is a difficult concept for some people which explains why there are so many books and tools meant to aid you in that subject. In that vein, Sheree Bykofsky has collected 500 Terrific Ideas For Organizing Everything. The book is a bit old, being from 1992, so it references some ancient technologies and ideas. Take Rolodex for instance. Some people don’t even know what that thing is. I do, but I am in a weird generational gap between a millennial and a Gen-Xer.

The book is like a shotgun of ideas. Some of them hit their target, and others do not. Maybe all of these ideas are useful or were useful at one time, given that the book is like that, most people will glean something useful from this book. It is possible that I am incorrect. I mean, this book talks about buying or renting a Beeper. Remember those things? I do, but I never used one.

The book is organized by subject alphabetically. The book asks a question in the blurb that goes like this: Do all your socks match? Yes, but only because I can tell which ones are which. Do you remember your Nephew’s Birthday? Yes, both of their birthdays. Can you find last year’s tax returns? Yeah, since I have them in a place where I can find them. So if that is stuff you have trouble finding or doing, then this book is for you. I can’t really say I recommend this book otherwise.

It's an extremely useful and practical book on all aspects of getting published, dealing this all those awkward details that writers would really rather not have to deal with but must. Besides the how-to of getting agents, dealing with editors, publicity etc, there are example query letters, proposals, contracts etc. It may not be totally up to date on self-publishing and e-book formats but with the speed of change, that would be hard.

"Hints from Heloise" type book, although the hints are grouped by categories. Not good if you need a more descriptive, concept-based manual. The book is simplistic.

So many fun drinks! So little time to try them all! It will be hard to limit what you spend in the liquor store after you invest in this book/
