About the Author
Don is a retired executive with an unquenchable thirst for corkscrews and corkscrew knowledge. In 1968, he was rummaging through a box in an antique store and found a bottle cap lifter embossed "Budweiser Means Moderation." That was the beginning of a beer advertising opener collection that grew to over 4000 in the next 20 years. In 1978, Don published his first book on beer advertising openers and corkscrews. In 1979, he founded "Just for Openers." By then, he had developed a greater passion for corkscrews, and, eventually, he sold the opener collection. In 1982, Don was invited to join the International Correspondence of Corkscrew Addicts (ICCA). This prestigious organization, founded in 1974, is limited to only 50 members worldwide. In 1986, he was appointed editor of the ICCA's Bottle Scrue Times, a position he held for four years. In 1991, he was elected Chief Correspondent, and, in 1993, he became the Right, the leader of the ICCA. After three years, he stepped down and retired with the title of "Mirth Right." In addition to his two books on openers, Don co-authored and published The Register of United States Breweries and American Breweries. Don's Beer Trivia book was published in 1985. Don is a member of the ICCA, the Canadian Corkscrew Collectors Club (CCCC), Just for Openers (JFO), the American Breweriana Association (ABA), and the National Association of Breweriana Advertising (NABA). He maintains a very active website (http: //members.aol.com/corkskrue/index.htm.) where over 150 webpages and hundreds of photographs are available at the click of a mouse, so corkscrew addicts may get their daily fix. When Don retired as President of Goodway Technologies Corporation of Stamford, Connecticut, in 1997, his portrait was presented to him. Presidential (U. S.) portrait painter Benjamin McCready and Don agreed to dispense with a traditional portrait with a serious looking person simply sitting in a chair or standing at attention. They agreed that some action was needed in the portrait and what could be more appropriate than a bottle of wine and a corkscrew. The corkscrew chosen is the only known example of the "Read's Coaxer." Don owns this unique corkscrew created by Thomas Read, a cutler in Dublin in the 18th century.

Like it was written by George Santos
Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
I had hopes for this book but was not expecting what I would read within the pages. If your kink is deplorable grammar, incoherent sentences, and inconsistent messages, then this book is for you. At first, I thought the book I received was not the book I ordered. But as I dived in, it was very confusing. I would not recommend this book to anyone
There are not many reviews on the internet for this book. In researching the many stores selling the book, it was self-published which makes a lot of sense. The online description is written perfectly, so reading the actual book was very difficult. Pages two and three are written clearly as well as the table of contents. Pages 155 and 156 are also written logically.
It appears this book was written, then sent through a program like “Grammarly.” Once completed it seems it was published without being re-read or edited. The first clue was the title narrative that used “Has” instead of “As.” The table of contents is one page off from what it shows on pages four though seven. Many of the “q’s” are written as “[]”
Below are some examples of what was within the pages of this book written verbatim:
“Chains & Discipline/ Domination & entry/ Sadism & Masochism (BDSM) is a wide classification of bed room play.” Page 9
“When bringing up the topic of chains, you are actually asking a person to offer you their depend on, their flexibility, and also possibly their suggestion of security in exchange for sensual/sexual enjoyment, power-play, and also feasible re-evaluation of your very own connection.” Page 39
“Techni[]ue can take a selection of kinds and also be as easy or facility as you pick to (new paragraph) bargain for your details scenario” Page 52
“BDSM stands for chains as well as entry, technique and also supremacy as well as sadism and also masochism.” Page 125
“SHELF means Risk Aware Consensual Kink.” Page 130
“Approval is whatever.” Page 152
“your twist isn’t my twist, yet your twist is OKAY.” Page 153
“You can be a top, base, or button” Page 153
Good service, good book. Just what I was looking for! Thank you!
