From gaining weight ("The Newlywed Nineteen is the little-known cousin of the Freshman Fifteen"), to handling finances ("What if neither of us is good at it?") to the rigors of Thanksgiving at the in-laws', being married changes everything. But no one ever talks about it. No one ever explains how to Love, Honor, and Cherish a man who thinks empty milk glasses and pistachio shells make nice coffee-table décor. A man who not only takes forever in the bathroom, but somehow keeps forgetting that your shampoo and conditioner are off limits!

No one, that is, until Jenny Lee. A former swinging city girl who married for love but then faced the fish-out-of-water reality of sharing a life with a man who is nothing like her, Ms. Lee decided it was high time to reveal the secrets that no one would tell her before the ceremony. A perfect shower gift, I DO. I DID. NOW WHAT? throws back the covers on a newlywed's first year-after you send the Vera Wang into storage and realize that you're suddenly a wife, with a real live husband... and one TV remote.

Sharply observed, full of sass and wit, I DO. I DID. NOW WHAT? is the book that no fiancée, bride, or newlywed should be without -the one book that can answer the eternal nuptial question: Why do I want to kill the person I just vowed to spend the rest of my life with?

 "SO HILARIOUS & SO TRUE!!!" 2007-07-10
By Kristine Gordon (Los Angeles, CA)
These anecdotes will have you rolling! Hysterically funny and witty! I'm Korean-American like Lee and even though she doesn't delve too much into the whole racial/cultural issue just the stories about newlywed life are too candid to be made up! The part where she jumps up and says: "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE DOING THIS! YOU'RE SPOILING HIM!" when Lee's traditional mother brings her new son-in-law his favorite drink (lemon-lime Gatorade - just like my own husband!) on a silver tray with a crystal highball glass filled with ice. This is something my own mother has actually done.



The Great Dinner Debate is something we, to this day, still struggle with.



Anyway, this is a fast-paced, endearing, comical read. Once you pick it up you won't be able to put it down!

 "For Better or for Worse" 2006-11-10
By Tia L. Hansen
Jenny Lee has provided the wedded and soon-to-be wed communtiy with a hilarious account of what married life is really like. Her hialrious anecdotes and sage advice, marinated in good humor, are thoroughly enjoyable.

 "why get married?" 2006-07-14
By L. Fisk (brooklyn, ny)
people are very divided on this book, but i wasn't into it. i guess the author is trying to be funny but she is so shallow, petty, and self centered, it seems to me that she wanted a wedding and not a marriage. last time i checked i enjoy hanging out with my husband, don't really care if he beats me at scrabble, or uses my shampoo. because those things don't matter. i guess if the book was funnier or more insightful i could have gotten beyond the whinning. but when you start the book basically complaining that you went to st. lucia, i can hardly relate.

I love this book! The first time I read it, I just could not stop laughing. And now, after a year, I am rereading it. It still cracks me up. I can relate to so many of the same experiences which Jenny Lee writes about. It is a very light fun read. Her writing is comical and very easy to read. I just bought her newest book "skinny bitching" and can't wait to start reading it.

 "I Do. I Did. Now What?! Life After the Wedding Dress" 2005-12-12
By Melanie (Appleton, WI)
While it was a fun book to read, it was not at all what I thought it would be. I was looking for a book to help me with my nerves about my own wedding. The book jacket promises; how to meet other couples, cleaning compromises, and other mysteries solved. I really didn't see what mysteries it solved, nor to it answer any of the other promises. Like I said before it was fun to read, its short and quick, but does it answer any questions, I didn't think so. I also read The Conscious Bride by Sheryl Nissinen. When I looked at it the first couple of times I thought it was a book trying to talk you out of getting married, not so. It really makes you think about different aspects of your engagement and relationship, now that was a helpful book!

Hello. My Name is Jenny. And I'm a Wife

Her Vera Wang gown still warm, Jenny Lee explores the subject no friend would ever talk about: what happens after the band stops playing and the guests go home. Covering finances, the freakish occurrences of getting beaten at Scrabble, meeting other couples, and establishing principles ("It's not that I can't cook. I don't cook."), it's the hilarious, all-too-true story of what it means to be a wife—with a real-life husband, one television remote, and the sneaking suspicion that he's using your very, very expensive, very, very hard-to-find shampoo.

 "Very helpful!" 2000-01-12
By Marie (Phoenix)
I am just starting out as a model and I had so many questions. Is modeling for you? was the perfect find. It gave me insight into the modeling business and helped me to understand the steps that are necessary to succeed. I feel much more conffident now that I have read this book. Every aspiring model should read it.

 "Tells you things other modeling guides don't, like..." 1999-10-12
By
The fact that the majority of today's sucessful black models started at black agencies, and there's a listing of them in this book. It was helpful, but if you're already established as a model, it may seem redundant.

 "a great book for all models" 1998-02-18

i recommend this book, because it gave me all the information i needed to get started in a modeling career.

 "Excellent publicity resource" 2008-09-07
By Anne Lagache (Orinda, CA, USA)
I volunteered to be the publicist of a non-profit group then searched Amazon and the library for a comprehensive reference how-to book. This book is IT. The first part of the book is, I'd like to say, background reading which explains to you the reader what you've gotten yourself into. The last part of the book shows you what you have to do to be a really good publicist. It's called "A crash course in Publicity." The book has everything in it that you need. I just wish my Board would read some of it so we could follow a publicity plan which this book highly recommends - and I think it is a great idea. It's a hardback which is Really good because you'll be referring to it often. I highly recommend this book if you need a comprehensive reference book on publicity.

 "A COMPLETE AND THOROUGH GUIDE TO PUBLICITY" 2008-05-03
By Gian Fiero (Hollywood, California)
After teaching two semesters of publicity at San Francisco State, I ordered about 6 publicity books off of Amazon and I read them all cover-to-cover.



The Complete Guide To Publicity was the best in terms of accuracy, thoroughness, and real-life application.



Joe's years of experience and casual writing style makes the valuable information contained throughout this book very easy to digest and comprehend. It deals with, and focuses on, the principles and philosophies of publicity as they relate to the business professional who is attempting to maximize the visibility of their product, service or organization. It's an older book with no mention of the Internet, but the education provided is applicable.



For students who are interested in a publicity primer before - or in lieu of - taking a course in publicity, this is the book to get...and it's practically free here on Amazon.

Marconi obviously knows what he's talking about. He knows how great publicity is. I'm struggling to get my band into the papers and I'm tryin' and I'm tryin' and I keep getting the hard slap to the face. I mean, how are people gonna know where we're playin'?!

I loved this book! I liked Michael Levine's Guerrilla PR: Wired more, especially for the net stuff. But, Marconi is a good all-arounder. Totally covers all the stuff from the net to the unnet. Lots o' tips and stuff. Like I said, Marconi knows what he's talking 'bout.

Great stuff!

 "A great publicity primer!" 2000-11-04
By Adam F. Jewell (Pittsburgh, PA USA)
Everything presented in this book will help those charged with the task of generating publicity. Fundamentally, it must be remembered that publicity is just that, it is not paid advertising, it must be managed, but cannot be completely controlled. The goal of the publicist is to provide relevant, newsworthy, information, which will be deemed to be of interest to a target audience. Present the media with an honest, credible, story, that will help them accomplish their goals (attracting more viewers, selling more papers or magazines, or attracting more interested readers to a web site) and your story is more likely to be heard by those you desire to reach.

"The Complete Guide to Publicity" clearly defines publicity, what it is and is not, what to expect from a publicity effort, as well as the particulars to consider when dealing with various media and attempting to target specific audiences with your story.

An excellent introduction to the strategy and structure of a publicity campaign!

By Skydog (Darmstadt, Germany)
The third novel about the bunch of excentric characters living in the fictional, but oh-so-real, Tula Springs, Louisiana.

Funny and sad. And very intelligent. Wonderfully written.

"Mr. Wilcox has real comic genius. He is a writer to make us all feel hopeful" said Anne Tyler.

 "Southern Comfort" 2002-02-23
By lvkleydorff (CT. USA)
Imagine yourself at a particles accelerator at CERN.

First, assemble the ingredients. Mrs. Olive Mackie, her husband Duane and her teenage son Felix. Uncle L. D., age 91, who depends on various females of this story to keep him going. Dr Martin Bates, student of dentistry, so helpful and charming... Assorted women of the neighborhood, who all went to school together. And, of course, Miss Undine, the retired schoolteacher of them all.

Now, mix them all together and accelerate. Gossip and rumors start spinning, congealing into delicious back biting. Wait for it to stop spinning, to see whose life and reputation is still in one piece.

A delightful book, full of humor and sharply etched pictures of life in a small southern town.
