This tells me that you either: A) are hoping to find a brief summary of what to expect from a how-to book by Sterling Archer, the world's greatest secret agent, or B) don't know how books work. If your answer was "A," your best bet is probably the table ofcontents, which is where you'll find the "contents" of this booklisted in a convenient, easy-to-read "table" format. So maybe gocheck that out for a minute and then come back here. I'll wait.... Pretty cool, right? What other book will teach you how to dressproperly and how to drive an elephant?

How to kill a guy and how toprepare a fabulous brunch? Plus how to do tons of other stuff thatI forgot, but that is nonetheless probably in this book (which, to behonest, I really only kinda skimmed). So if you want to learn more about how to be more--or at all--likeSterling Archer, the world's greatest secret agent, quit smearing yourgreasy fingerprints all over this book and buy it. For one thing, I reallyneed the royalties. For another thing, the last time I checked, thiswasn't a damn library. (Note: If your answer was "B," this probably isn't the book you want to start with.)
