I treasure this book! My copy is an integral part of my reference library, and is frequently referred to, and often quoted: 'Truly, the Wise One is creative: he invents his own statistics.' Humour and truth: an important combination. Highly recommended. Jennifer Cameron-Smith

William Warriner captures all the subtle nuances of 'relationships' in offices, all the 'usually unsaid'behind the statistics! savour.......Heat shimmers from cars / surrounding my parking space; /they all want my job.He has a certain sense / that history begins / with his arrival.In youth, we learnt that / a company must grow; now/we teach it to shrink

Little words of wisdom or words of little wisdom?

A fantastic book with some real gems.Here's an example ... " A tropical beach, at last. I trace in the sand a lazy spreadsheet." At first look it may sound trite and yet on consideration the thoughts behind are so deep.
