Trade ReviewWelcome to the journey. At each chapter you'll have two paths to choose from. One is to continue on to the next chapter. The other is to put the book down and play the game. Follow the first option each time. I guarantee that when you finish reading the book and play the games they'll be more fun because you'll appreciate what went into the creation of them."—Leonard Herman, author of
