I've been following Marcia's work for years. 

The lady is not only brilliant.  She's highly educated, unstuffy, focused, and fascinating. 

Most importantly, she passes the ultimate test:  every word she writes is based on her own life experience. 

Unlike your garden-variety guru, she doesn't research, regurgitate, and tattoo EXPERT on the end of her nose.  She herself has enjoyed considerable personal and professional success using the exact same methods she teaches.

And last but not least, she steers completely clear of my personal bugaboo (yours too if you've been around the block once or twice)...

We're talking, of course, about those hideous (yet "comprehensive" [bwahahahaha!]) publications that get you all worked up then leave you wandering in a field in the middle of nowhere blubbering, "Gollywhiz, what a great idea!!... where do I start? who am I? why was I born?"  Just about everything Marcia writes really is totally comprehensive -- and if not, then it wasn't intended to be and she makes that perfectly clear right up front.  But unlike so many others, rather than leave you hanging, she provides the knowledge and resources you need to carry on.

TRANSLATION:  When you put your faith in Marcia Yudkin, you get precisely what you bargained for and then some.
As far as I'm concerned, if it has her name on it, you've got yourself a MASTERPIECE.
