“Why John Vorhaus—his book, anyway—is a lot like Costco:
1. There are more things inside than you could possibly need;
2. The thing you need, they have;
3. It’s a bargain.”
— Jeff Arch, screenwriter, Sleepless in Seattle

“ Vorhaus is a fountain of ideas. This book will make you one too.”
— Robert Masello, author, A Friend in the Business
