|title=The Reality Test: Still Relying on Strategy?
|rating=4.5
|genre=Business and Finance
|summary=If you are in business the chances are that you know there are areas in which you need help, or - at the very least - could improve. Sometimes it's quite difficult to quantify ''where'' you need the help, but you're probably quite sure about what you ''don't'' need and that's best summed up as too much science, jargon you don't understand or anything that you have to wade through to come up with the conclusion that you were doing it roughly right in the first place. A good starting point is a book which you can dip into as you need and which edges your thinking into areas it's not been into for a while.

|summary=Books are better than magazines – discuss. Certainly for the connoisseur of the contents of culturally important titles from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s it must be a lively debate. I remember my collection of ''New Worlds'' editions and how often the editors would take us through a long novel over seven or eight parts, then dump a 'sorry, due to space requirements this last part of what you've cherished for months is abridged – but wait for the novel version soon' on us. Is it better to be a completist, and witness everything the original editors deemed worthy (or just had lying around) or should we cherry-pick and note the best? This hefty hunk of book goes for the latter, anyway, taking [[:Category:Robert Crumb|R Crumb]]'s output for the ''Weirdo'' comic, as edited by R Crumb, then someone else, then Mrs R Crumb, and giving us everything, warts and all.
