Editorial Reviews
Review
Another book of information on dealing with too much information? This one is different… For making sense of the overwhelming amount of information that bombards us, this book is a good place to start…One section deals with e-mail, voicemail, finding information online, and filing and storing information. It is worth the price of the book…Those drowning in an information deluge will find that this refreshing, humorous book is chock-full of practical ideas to stay afloat. (Christianity Today)
