Demand for Andy's writing from his first book, Young Ideas, and his need to fill in his 2.5 minutes of free time per week, have led to the release of volume 2, Work(s) in Progress. Believe it or not, there have actually been critical reviews of the first book, and some of them are even real. Read the shameless self promotion©, and contact Andy with or without an order request
