I get a couple of e-mails a week from the 'Dummies' people pushing their latest books. Today's e-mail was a bit of a jaw dropper:
Multiple Sclerosis For Dummies
By Rosalind Kalb, Ph.D., Nancy Holland, RN, EdD, MSCN, Barbara Giesser, MD, David L. Lander
Now if only they could write MS Research for Dummies.

Dear Oreo, who else but us folks would buy such a book.. for our relatives perhaps... friends...?
We are very important if they write a book about us...
take care, Carole

The reviews of the book indicate that it is full of excellent information. The price tag is a bit steep. Maybe Ian, the self proclaimed millionaire, will buy it and tell the rest of us about it.
I wonder who the "Dummies" are that are targeted for purchasing the book. Sounds like it is pretty technical for dummies.

Isn't it great how a company can make a comical title out of a serious problem and then make money off of it?
