Blog On the Italian Edition of The No Asshole Rule

Written by

As I wrote earlier this week, the Italian edition of The No Asshole Rule, called Il Metodo Antistronzi has started off with a bang, as they have already done 8 printings since it was published August 31st, and I was told earlier in the week that it was the #2 nonfiction book in Italy and there were 80,000 copies in print. My Italian publisher has put up a great blog, which I have been trying to follow with the Google translator, and some help from Italian readers. They just put up a post that — I think — shows the first page of an article about the book in the current issue of Panorama Economy.
