Why It Pays To Listen Even When You Think They?re Nuts
My first published work became a bestseller as soon as it hit the bookshelves back in 1995 and it has been topping the lists ever since. Lucky you, some might say.
By and large the content has remained unchanged (apart from essential updating) and although ten years is a fair old run, what goes up must eventually come down.
So with that in mind I approached my publishing house with a suggestion for a commemorative 10th anniversary edition; new chapters, new cover, new cosmetics, new typesetting.
They loved the idea but balked at producing a new edition per se.
"Why?" I said, "It will start the ball rolling all over again."
"No it won't," they said, "It will kill the golden goose."
And so instead the publisher opted for a reprint dressed up as a new edition: new imprint, new chapters, new cosmetics, new typesetting ? but no new cover; only a subtle color change to preserve continuity.
I thought they were nuts but they were right of course; stop supplying bookstores with a bestseller for five months and you risk consigning it to oblivion for evermore. And a block on supply there must be to allow the trade to dispose of existing stock.
That's the price you pay with every new edition.
My author copies arrived a few days ago.
I was well pleased with the new production and contacted the publishing house to express my satisfaction, intimating only mild concern over the lack of a new cover design.
"Oh, there will be a new cover," they said. "We'll incorporate that on the next reprint of the reprint ? now that the link has been maintained".
My idea was good but I hadn't thought it through.
The publisher house did.
The 4th edition of "Starting Your Own Business" (How To Books ISBN 1845280709) will be appearing in bookstores worldwide mid-April 2005.

The Truth About Home Made Facials
I started making facial masks after reading several books on natural cosmetics. Common ingredients used in home made facials are eggs, lemon, milk, honey, cucumber, tomato, essential oils and lots more fruits, herbs and other ingredients. The assumption I had was that home made cosmetics, being all natural and preservative free were much safer than the
commercial masks you found in stores. A wrong assumption. You know the saying.
Never assume anything. It makes an ASS of U and ME. Did you know some of the deadliest poisons on earth are 100% natural? There are complaints about preservatives irritating the skin and all that. That may be true especially for a person with very sensitive skin. But preservatives actually make cosmetics safe to use.
Preservatives kill or at very least, inhibit the bacteria, mold, viruses and nasty things that would otherwise thrive in the cosmetics we use. Commercial preparations usually contain some preservative or other to make these...

What Can Roses Do For You Today?
In the past millennium, it has been ordinary to see roses and their depictions being one and the same as attractiveness and grace. This is evidenced in writings as far back as Shakespeare (and probably further), demonstrating that roses have long been known as attractive and elegant. Obviously, the modern economy and most of today's business world has caught up with this notion, and has appealed to the concept of roses being the essence of loveliness, and often, even brought about this conviction....

Abortion and the Right to Life - Part I
I. The Right to LifeIt is a fundamental principle of most moral theories that all human beings have a right to life. The existence of a right implies obligations or duties of third parties towards the right-holder. One has a right AGAINST other people. The fact that one possesses a certain right - prescribes to others certain obligatory behaviours and proscribes certain acts or omissions.
This Janus-like nature of rights and duties as two sides of the same ethical coin - creates great confusion....

In the Nick of Time: Your Car?s Serpentine Belt
Drive by any car lot in the United States and ask to see the latest hybrid car models. Don't be stupefied if eight out of ten tell you that they can't seem to keep them on the lot?that they're just selling too fast! There is reasoning behind the hype: consumers believe in one (or all) of three things, that they're going to be getting a better deal once gas prices hit $2.50 a gallon, that they're not sacrificing performance and that they're helping the environment. Let's first take a look at how...
