Do you have the "Clutch"?

The current issue of "Realtor" magazine published by the National Association of Realtors has a short interview with the New York Times columnist Paul Sullivan regarding the book "Clutch".

The "Clutch" can be applied to any profession: law, business, real estate etc.

If you are looking for a good book to read this might be a good one to rev up one's confidence for the coming year.
