The Ugly Man's Guide to Picking Up Women: And Keeping Them

Mark Patton. BRG Publishing, $12.95 (130pp) ISBN 978-0-9661144-7-8

A book called The Ugly Man's Guide to Picking Up Women (and Keeping Them) may not sound promising, but Mark Patton offers some valuable, if humorous, insights (e.g., ""to most women looks aren't everything""). Claiming to be living proof that an attractive, loving woman can be within reach, he reminds readers that being sincere, considerate and winning a woman's respect are goals any man can achieve. A clever jacket photograph featuring a lounging man with a paper bag over his head makes this guide a novelty item and enticing impulse purchase. ( June)
