Shannon Kelly is looking for a computer textbook, and says, "The
"Dummies" series would be out of the question for such an austere group
of fragile egos."
If that book has what you need, why not just print up an elegant and
dignified cover and paste it over the 'Dummies' one. File off the serial
number, paint it blue....
Who knows, one or two of them might have a sense of humor. I've
known a few high-level types who do.
