Wandering around Barnes & Noble's bookstore in Billings on Saturday, I found this display. I looked around but I didn't see any obvious dummies, except perhaps myself when it comes to crocheting or auto repair. I hope they can weather the storm of Amazon's online competition as I do like to feel and page through a book before I buy it. By the way their Nook, their version of an electronic reader, especially the color version is very nice, particularly for the magazines.

Those dummy books are big business. Hubby was approached to write a dummy book and the requirements were so dumb, he turned them down. Besides, the authors are paid peanuts to grind out out some fluff.
Yes, I found out these were only a small number of those available. The one on Catholicism wasn't all that bad. Useful to give to a dummy, whether Catholic or Protestant or nothing.
What? No Latin for Dummies? That's a book I could use!
Here you are: http://www.amazon.com/Latin-Dummies-Clifford-Hull/dp/076455431X
I note also at Amazon.com The Complete Idiot's Guide
and Linney's Getting Started . . . This last looks interesting. I might try it. I'll let you know.
