Save your Money - Don't Buy This by Marjorie Vanderlaam (Vancouver, WA USA)  2 Stars
July 26, 2009
This book is a nice attempt to make money. It looks like it cost $7 to make if you go to one of those self-service places. An incomplete book, seems to have a lot of empty space and is unnecessarily large. Prefer the smaller text message books.
Book is duplicating itself - first has LMAO then definition. Later in book has Laughing My A** Off - LMAO. Just giving two definitions and taking up more space. Not really categorized.
I enjoyed Txt2Tlk better.
