This title is now a major motion picture releasing Autumn 2008
and starring Simon Pegg, Kirsten Dunst, and Jeff
Bridges.High-flying British journalist Toby Young set out for New
York to become a contributing editor at Vanity Fair. Other Brits
had taken Manhattan, why not Toby?But things didn''t quite go
according to plan. Within two years he''d been fired from Vanity
Fair, banned from the most fashionable bar in the city, and
couldn''t get a date for love or money. Even the local AA group
wanted nothing to do with him."How to Lose Friends and Alienate
People" is Toby''s best-selling and critically acclaimed memoir of
steadily working his way down the New York food chain from glossy
magazine editor to crash-test dummy for interactive sex toys. A
seditious attack on New York''s A-list and the culture of celebrity
from inside the belly of the beast, it''s a book USA Today calls a
"nastily funny read."This hilarious memoir is being released in
this special movie tie-in edition to coincide with the release of a
major movie of "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People".
