About This Book

Still reading? Great! So few people bother with the introduction in any book that I’m amazed you bothered to keep going. Honestly, I could write down how to turn lead into gold in this paragraph and you’d be one of six people on the planet to ever read it. Count yourself fortunate. And handsome. I mean, why not?
