πŸ‘ Worth It

One hundred and thirty numbered tactics with a friendly/neutral/hardball graphic tag on each is a genuinely useful desk-reference format, and the coverage ranges widely from bazaars to boardrooms. The hardball section will give values-based negotiators pause, and it lacks the narrative cohesion of a full read-through book, but as a quick-lookup tool for practitioners it earns a spot on the shelf.
