Although I'm sure some authors don't prefer this because it gives people less incentive to buy it, but I find them the most useful. Agreed I like summaries.

Call me impatient, but that's just what I want now. You're review here is excellent - a refreshing change and an example of how I like reviews. You've included specific, practical examples of what the book taught you, and you even took it one step further and told how you've used these ideas in your businesses. Thank you.

Generally, customers flock to anyone who can solve their problem and when your 'advertising' comes in this form of WOM, the value is simply priceless. Couple that with a humble, and willing working attitude, I can say off-hand that your business will prosper for a long time. Not because you're able to provide a solution for others, but when it comes to you, yourself facing a problem, YOUR customers are willing and to some extent, even offers their solution to you! It's a win-win situation in the end. Btw, great article. Thumbs up! I can’t stress how beneficial it can be in the long run when your business is set out to solve people’s problems.

If someone is confused it's my fault as the designer, not theirs! :) Yep, I struggle with this too sometimes when people send me customer support questions…sometimes I think it should be obvious to them, but I have to stop myself.
