How to Lose Friends & Alienate People

88 reviews
Toby Young

Da Capo Press, 2003

Quite enjoyable
I picked this up because the title caught my eye. It was actually quite good, funny and well-written, and it held my attention. I think Toby Young's assessment of the American meritocracy was accurate and spot-on. I got a kick out of the behind-the-scenes glimpses of Vanity Fair and Graydon Carter -- I don't want to spoil it, but I think Toby got the last laugh. Highly recommended.

The Orange Blossoms : 50 Years of Growth in Orange County
Bob Ziebell, Toby Young, ...

Heritage Media, 2000

Not long ago, Orange County was still a reflection of its very name - an agricultural landscape where organe trees outnumbered its inhabitants. Citrus groves aligned in neat rows decorated the gentle hills and valleys, filling the air with a sweet, pungent frangrance. However, in the span of a half-century, the aroma of citrus blossoms has been succeeded by the scent of change. In this beautifully illustrated anthology, nine accomplished writers ...
