The authors run seminars on the subject, and no doubt many individuals and companies need help with e-mail management; but this book interweaves a handful of valuable ideas into a narrative involving a talking hamster and, in so doing, seems to demonstrate the opposite of efficient communication. Nevertheless, the book taps a need for discussion of how to reduce email volume, improve communication quality, sustain results, and use an efficient file and find system.
