This is an auction for TALKING STRAIGHT by Lee Iacocca.

"Iacocca: An Autobiography made publishing history, breaking bestseller records throughout the world. Now the nation's most outspoken corporate giant and American success story returns with a provocative new book, as forthright and candid as ever. Talking Strait is for the millions who read-and reread-Iacocca, as well as those who will meet Lee Iacocca in these pages for the first time. Here is Iacocca at his best-talking straight and hard about the most pressing concerns of our lives. . ."

"Talking Straight offers the same breezy, no-nonsense style that made Iacocca so appealing even to non-business readers. . .This time he's offering an even wider range of observations--on everything from raising kids and growing older to what's wrong with politics, trade, Wall Street, the Reagan administration, and the American psyche. . .He also offers eight commandments of management. . . .The point of this book, he writes, is that fundamental public issues must be addressed-and soon."

• Business Week (US)

"He believes in the value of getting mad--at deficits, trade policies, the news media--and he believes in speaking out."

• The New York Times Book Review

"Talking straight presents the Chrysler president's message in tough-guy language laced with humour. . .But it is, nonetheless, a serious book. Iacocca is worried about this countries future."

• The Pittsburgh Press

"Iacocca's head-on confrontation of issues and straight talk of the kind in this book would be a refreshing change in Washington."

• San Francisco Chronicle
