Carl Guarino, CEO, ICG Commerce "You hold in your hands a million dollars' worth of advice distilled into an actionable blueprint for change. ROI = Read on Immediately!"

    This hardback book is of the highest quality, has a fine appearance , arrived in perfect condition, and is an excellent value. On what I was not asked about this time, communicating with the seller would have required using email outside of the eBay system, because they do not accept eBay messages, the book was well packed in a purpose-designed cardboard box, the shipping was faster than I expected for the bound media rate, and the book was exactly as described and pictured.
