Great article, and interesting too. I won't buy books with the word 'dummy' on it, even if I feel like a dummy, I wouldn't buy a book which certifies that I am. It's stupid, but it's just a thing - a dummy sort of thing.

Is this what we've come to? We have to be deemed dummies to want to still be further educated? None-the-less, love the article, and the list! You did a great job! I actually, and sadly enough own a few Dummies, books myself. For those of you that don't they are worth their weight in gold, as they are usually, well written, and easy reference guides!
