As Randy says,it's a primer type book, something tells me that this book is gonna sell a lot of copies. Seems to have received very good reviews, and let's be honest - a lot of us here have bought "for dummies" type books before to provide us with valuable tips and advice.

Just re-read my own review. I really should use spell check or at least re-read a post before I publish it. Oh well, probably not gonna happen.

That may well be, but would they admit it?

Mike1003, Cholula, and the rest of the gang from the Delta Lounge Forum have always been good enough to save me the trouble and admitting my dumminess for me.

Concerning the review, isn't everything on Garys' blog, excellent?

thanks for the comments and hope the book basics can help those getting the feel for "How to earn a million miles in just four weeks" with my new .....
Note: i hear rumors that those attending the Freddies this year may be getting a copy of the book in their goodie bags. If true i'll be setting up an autograph table and promise to not charge for my scribble!
