This cute, creative, crafty book is something many guys could use. It's been 40 years since American culture and work habits changed and we became so busy. Somewhere along the way we lost something - namely the time to plan for anything. Most of my friends, especially the guys, were lousy at planning for anything social anyway, and when the budgets got tight, the work schedule was ultra-demanding and the social calendar was squeezed paper-thin, creative giving became an art form. //The Emergency Gift Book// is a superb example of creative giving, and a very useful tool. Some folks may say it's lame to get a hand-made gift certificate or "IOU" for something; however, in this day and age, where billions are spent on ATM-style gift cards, //The Emergency Gift Book?? will at least allow you to add a little personal flair to your impromptu, hurried or belated gift. There are numerous gift card enclosures, coupons, IOU's, acknowledgements, merit badges, certificates of appreciation and such, all served with a great sense of humor. Since most of us don't have a personal assistant to help us with these details, it makes perfect sense to have a book like this handy in the inevitable "pinch." reviewed by Kaye Cloutman
