There is much to praise in this book.
Retired Fellows Newsletter, 2002
This is an enjoyable book, full of wisdom and humour. Should it be on the bookshelf of every department? Probably not, if only because its optimistic approach may encourage senior colleagues to leave early. However, as a retirement gift it is perfect.
