Because life's too short... The books in the Fast Thinking series cut through the thought jungle, switch off the panic and provide simple, concrete things to say, do and remember so you'll have the shine that makes you look as though you've been polishing for weeks. Whether it's the first time you've had to carry out a task, or maybe you don't do it very often and need a refresher, the Fast Thinking titles bring you up to speed with minimal fuss. Each book contains:

• One hour urgent checklist - the vital tips when you are really up against it
• One evening priority checklist - things you can do the night before
• The vital guide - the essential notes for when you have a few days to think about it, but no longer...
• For next time/if you buy extra time - the things you should also think about if you get half a chance or to remember for time round
