I bought a bunch of books at Borders the other day. (TIP: If you don't have coupons, gift cards, or rewards, don't go for the Borders sales until after Sunday. The stores are open for another 4-6 weeks. However, the current sales are 20-40% off list, which is actually less than some of their regular prices.) The books I bought were all less than ten bucks other than one for about sixteen on international business transactions.
In this book, which seems to be pretty terrific, it tells you how to be proper in dealings in most countries.
There are a number of entertaining entries in what I've read so far. Mostly, I've been amused by the Poland and US entries, since I haven't really looked through much of the rest. For the US, the book explains many of the items that make the US completely different from the rest of the world. It actually uses the words "be prepared" a few times. It really makes you think of how the rest of the world views us.
