Beltway Bad Boys Skewered In New Book Of ‘Venomous Verses’ As countless examples of small-minded political bickering inside the Washington Beltway clearly demonstrate, there’s something unwholesome festering in the American body politic. Something that cries out for a good skewering. That something is poetry with attitude. Michael Silverstein offers this skewering in Beltway Madness In Rhyme (Venomous verses for a disgusted electorate). The 55 poems in this cunningly illustrated book play no favorites. They take on—and whittle down— Republicans and Democrats, Congress and the administration, courts and the K Street crowd. To order your copy of Beltway Madness In Rhyme, send a check or M.O. for $9.95 (which includes $2.00 for P&H) to Silverwood, P.O. Box 1167, Glenside, PA 19038.

Everything I Know About Wall Street I Learned From My Cat – If you’re looking for a financial advisor who really knows how to get the best out of markets (and life generally), you need look no further than the furry friend who is currently napping in a sunspot on your bed. That’s the premise of this witty and wise new 72-page publication. Richly illustrated by Kay Wood, it contains chapters like: "It’s easier to be cute than to use a can opener," "All the best decisions are made after a long afternoon nap," "Hiss first and ask questions afterwards," "Cover your litter and move on," and "They’re only as good as your last can of tuna."

The Little Book Of Boston Parking Horrors – Everybody hates parking tickets. But until Michael Silverstein wrote this hilarious description of ticketing madness in Boston, the true nature of the predatory ‘curb tax’ system was hidden from general view. Though it first appeared in 1986, this 78-page paperback, with its nasty illustrations and poignant photographs, is still the definitive and certainly the funniest book ever written about parking tickets, the people who give them out, and the defensive measures employed by motorists. The book’s illustrations alone are worth the price of admission. For a copy of The Little Book Of Boston Parking Horrors, send a check for $8.95 (includes $3.00 postage and handling) to:

The Environmental Economic Revolution – This book caused something of a revolution itself when it was first published in 1993. Translated into a number of languages, including Korean and Spanish, this book’s descriptions and case studies showing how the U.S. and world economies are being profoundly restructured by new environmental imperatives, played an important role in changing thinking and setting government policies during the 1990’s. You can purchase a copy of The Environmental Economic Revolution (216 pages, hardcover), signed by the author, by sending a check for $22.95 (includes $3.00 postage and handling) to:
