Description

Features & Highlights

  • THE PERFECT GIFT for the department. __________________________________ 'People at work spend a lot of the day in meetings. Meetings are important because they give everyone a chance to talk about work. Which is easier than doing it.' __________________________________ 'Rudd attends meetings remotely from his home office. He has three telephones, two Swiss desk intercoms, a fax machine and a wall-mounted theremin. Sometimes nobody speaks to him for days.' __________________________________ This delightful book is the latest in the series of Ladybird books which have been specially planned to help grown-ups with the world about them. The large clear script, the careful choice of words, the frequent repetition and the thoughtful matching of text with pictures all enable grown-ups to think they have taught themselves to cope. Featuring original Ladybird artwork alongside brilliantly funny, brand new text.

A prefect gift

This would make a perfect gift for any adult involved in office life and “those” meetings. Pictures as some of us remember (and even then they seemed out of date!) and text to make you smile. Treated with a pinch of sarcasm, a hint of nostalgia and a large dose of hilarity this is a short easy, laugh out loud read. (I can’t put “lol” for a book that harks to the 1950’s!!)
I voluntarily chose to read this ARC and all opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.

A wise purchase for people who have to deal with people

Not as funny as I had hoped.

Glad I only bought a couple of this series.

Great for crying oneself to sleep to

This book has provided me with more introspection than I had hoped for. Great for crying oneself to sleep to, knowing that the morning brings another meeting.
