Dummies

I like the Dummies book series. Off to the library to pick up the eee pc for dummies.

A while back, almost had a contract to do the screenwriting dummies book. We didn't like the terms, and I wasn't hungry enough to give in. They found a hungrier writer easily enough. People who need the money, the recognition, the validation, or whatever, will let themselves get screwed sometimes, I did it early on myself, but after you have a track record and enough experience to know when you're being screwed, it's easy enough to shake your head and pass up an offer.
