Wonderful book! I use it as an instructional tool Amazon Customer Wonderful book! I use it as an instructional tool in my graduate classes at a local university.. A Customer said Everyone has Bad Ideas. I love this book! It reminds me of growing up in a house with three little brothers. Every family has their own memories of bad ideas.
