Audacious ideas aplenty in this breezy financial guide.
An entrepreneur shares ideas for generating passive income in this business manual.
Gabrielle (Influencer Fast Track, 2018, etc.) is no stranger to passive income. As author of the self-published SassyZenGirl series of guides and other titles, she has achieved Amazon bestseller status numerous times and claims to generate a six-figure passive income from her endeavors. In this chatty, informative book, Gabrielle willingly opens her bag of tricks, presenting 23 “passive income blueprints” for both novice and seasoned entrepreneurs. The volume starts with some smart tips that include a caution against false get-rich-quick expectations and advice on how to build an income-producing asset (“Creation-Systems-Automation”). Then the author launches into overviews, or blueprints, of ideas to produce a stream of passive income, most of which focus on online creation and marketing of one kind or another. Several of the concepts are cleverly designed to leverage and build on top of what others have done; for example, “AirBnB Arbitrage” involves renting properties owned by landlords that can then be offered through AirBnB at higher nightly or weekly rates. Other ideas take advantage of certain online characteristics, such as employing search engine optimization locally to achieve a high-ranking video or website on search engines and then renting that spot to another business. More than one concept seems to be essentially designed to make money via repurposing or remarketing the work of others. As a result, more conservative marketers may wonder whether some of these notions are too risky, and opportunists will likely view them as shrewd, if not ingenious. Regardless, each tantalizing idea is described in an engaging, conversational style, with just enough breathless detail to tease readers into wanting to know more. The guide itself is the very model of passive income, incorporating many references to other resources available from the author, including a slew of her books. Gabrielle is marvelously adept at mining the depths of passive income, and she writes with vitality and verve. The real magic, though, will be in each reader’s ability to select and execute the most appropriate concepts.

BOOK REVIEW
Stricter than, say, Bergen Evans or W3 ("disinterested" means impartial — period), Strunk is in the last analysis...
Privately published by Strunk of Cornell in 1918 and revised by his student E. B. White in 1959, that "little book" is back again with more White updatings.
Stricter than, say, Bergen Evans or W3 ("disinterested" means impartial — period), Strunk is in the last analysis (whoops — "A bankrupt expression") a unique guide (which means "without like or equal").Pub Date: May 15, 1972

This is not the Nutcracker sweet, as passed on by Tchaikovsky and Marius Petipa. No, this is the original Hoffmann tale of 1816, in which the froth of Christmas revelry occasionally parts to let the dark underside of childhood fantasies and fears peek through. The boundaries between dream and reality fade, just as Godfather Drosselmeier, the Nutcracker's creator, is seen as alternately sinister and jolly. And Italian artist Roberto Innocenti gives an errily realistic air to Marie's dreams, in richly detailed illustrations touched by a mysterious light. A beautiful version of this classic tale, which will captivate adults and children alike. (Nutcracker; $35.00; Oct. 28, 1996; 136 pp.; 0-15-100227-4)
