To take away on holiday…
I enjoy Fabian Tassano’s Mediocracy Blog, incisive thinking with occasional snippets from his book of the same name.
I have now tracked down his book and am happy to plug it here, in exchange for his extended Christmas signing offer.
(Disclosure- I haven’t read it yet, although I have dipped in and enjoyed what I have surfed.)
