 Review at MyShelf.Com

     What do you do when you find a college course you are teaching is so popular it can't accommodate all the students interested in the subject? You write a book, of course.

     UCLA recently instituted a class that addresses small-business fraud. The instructor, Alex Kwechansky, wrote Never Underestimate Who Can Cheat You in order to reach those who couldn't take the class.

     Although inspired by academic issues, this is a book written with a great deal of humor from the introduction (the author urges the reader not to skip over it) to the last page. It is full of secret dangers that everyone, not just business people, need to protect themselves from. If ya' don't understand the crooks, how you gonna protect yourself against them, right?

     I've read way too much recently about shady bookkeeping practices in the Wall Street Journal and elsewhere. The big guys aren't the only ones who are happy to take advantage of the unsuspecting. This book tells a reader what to watch for in the marketplace, about the hazards and deceptions in investing, and other frauds and scams you didn't even know existed. Feeling paranoid? Perhaps we all should.
