LOL That's funny!
What topic are you proposing for the Dummies/Idiot's series?
A fellow TW (and bellydancer) and I sent out several letters and emails
trying to get Idiot's or Dummies to listen to our proposal for a book
on Bellydancing (art, history, culture, costumes, health, etc.) We got
a generic letter from one and completely ignored by the other. We've
not given up, but I don't think they took the bait. :(
Good luck on "VW's Dummies/Idot's" book! I'll look for it on the shelf
next year.

I'm not quite sure how to express my reaction to your subject line -
BUT - as I was sitting down to spend the next 12 hours focusing on a
ToC for a book proposal in the "Dummies/Idiots" genre, I saw it and
thought: "Wow! Someone has great taste, but how could they possibly
know about my book?!" :-) (I'm also a "VW"!:-))
