How to Survive Work & Wedlock, by Jilly Cooper. 1977, compilation of How to Survive 9 to 5 and How to Stay Married, 1969 and 197

Skimmed & decided to get rid of. Boring, obvious, weird mixture of "humor" and advice.

It was scary--vibrating as though it would pull its bolts right out of the floor--but fascinating.
