While superficial it's fun, though the entire chapter on Computers needs a serious grain of salt (psaw on no-one understanding documents if you don't use Microsoft Word) and she's not helping issues by declaring in the piece on "How to understand the world wide web" "not only did it slash encyclopaedia sales, and end the tyrannical reign of librarians...". She was probably asking the wrong questions.

The index is patently wrong too. Maybe she should have hired a trained professional, maybe even a librarian for that...

She does later suggest that you should use libraries to save money. Ah, us librarians have use after all.

It's for those in the world who are concerned about fashion and about always looking good. I.E. not me. While some of it is useful the constant name-dropping of brands is quite grating occasionally. ( )
