Putting Together Your Lifestyle Portfolio by Diane Gustwiller

You usually can't judge a book by its cover. In this case, you probably can though.

First off, the "book" looks as if it was printed on someone's inkjet printer in the low resolution mode. None of the pages are numbered, but it looks to be around 16 pages long, and is stapled in the center.

The content? Not much to speak of. The book suffers from so many typographical errors as to make one laugh out loud. There are even misspellings on the cover! Obviously, no editor came anywhere near this thing. You'd think that if the author were a successful MLM entrepreneur that she could at least afford a word processor with spell checking.

Back to the actual content... It's one of those ho-hum MLM PR pieces. Nothing new here. Just a lot of poorly written propaganda. There are some highly questionable claims made, and statistics that have no sources to back them up. It's all sizzle and no steak.

If you are looking for a marketing tool to initiate others into MLM, you would do better to write and print something yourself. You certainly couldn't do much worse.

How this book has managed to retain all of its typographical errors since the original printing in 1997 is a real mystery. I'm guessing that it's largely due to the fact that the IQ of this book's average reader is somewhere around that of a houseplant.
