Ratings and reviews

Take it from me, the more you know, the more you will get out of this book. AND I would like to offer a VERY IMPORTANT, yet free tip.... Yes, I am sure that if not all, a huge percentage of this data is laying on some dusty shelf, between here and the far end of the www. ARE YOU READY FOR THE FREE TIP???? I played with my dog (it's 30 degrees in Dallas,Texas), talked to my Little Brother on my BLACKBERRY, had a sandwich with nacho cheese dip, realized I had finished the sample book, pulled out my trusty Google Wallet and bought me a copy. I wonder how much data I would have found by now on the net????
