Blog On the Italian Edition of The No Asshole Rule
As I wrote earlier this week, the Italian edition of The No Asshole Rule, called Il Metodo Antistronzi has started off with a bang, as they have already done 8 printings since it was published August 31st, and I was told earlier in the week that it was the #2 nonfiction book in Italy and there were 80,000 copies in print. My Italian publisher has put up a great blog, which I have been trying to follow with the Google translator, and some help from Italian readers. They just put up a post that -- I think -- shows the first page of an article about the book in the current issue of Panorama Economy.
I
like the Simpson's angle, it looks like Lisa is trying to apply the
"delete button" to Mr. Burns!
Also, I would love to hear from Italian readers about the reaction in Italy, and in particular, how "the asshole problem" plays out in Italian organizations, and in fact, Italian life in general.
Dear Mr. Sutton,
I have just finished reading and learning from your book, and after reading this post I volunteer to translate anything you need from the Italian blog dedicated to your book or anything else! (I'm a professional translator)
If you need any help, just drop me a line! No more Google translator, from now on! ;-)

There is a lot of buzz about the book here in Italy, the majority of the people that I know are waiting to read it, like me.

Very funny, Bob. Let me circulate this among Italian bloggers and see if they saw it, etc.
