B&N emailed me with a 'delayed shipment' notice and gave me the opportunity to cancel my order early Thursday morning before Memorial Day weekend. I cancelled it in the afternoon, however they shipped it anyway to an address that I would not be at (went home during the weekend). So I paid for a book I never got! Boy, was I a 'dummie'!

McCormack has built a $700 million sports empire, so he knows how to get results. So this is a book worth reading, and I picked up many helpful tips from it.
