I wrote TRICKS just like I talk... very "Debbie Grayish!"   It's entertaining, lighthearted, and eccentrically informal, yet brimming with terrific teaching tips for folks from college to connoisseur.  All of the information is based on experience, coming more from-the-heart than from-the-head, without a single reference to professional research, educational data, statistical evidence, or anything remotely resembling a text book. 

The inclusion of this compendium of my most brilliant (and unfortunately, quite solitary) collection of TRICKS FOR KIDS which, ironically are, in reality, TRICKS for teachers to use with kids, will hopefully catapult this soon-to-be rapturously renowned work into a reckless ritual of conspicuous consumption! To those of you so inclined, I thank you very much for just busting out your credit card, buying a dozen or two, and joining me in burrowing yourself still deeper into the Stygian abyss of credit card debt.
