Reviews

"Jeanne Martinet's amusing guide contains nifty ideas designed to get the flower off the wall and into circulation." --Letitia Baldridge "The Art of Mingling takes the intimidation out of party scenes, whether they are business-related or social." --Publishers Weekly "Jeanne Martinet is an expert at navigating parties." --New York Daily News "Martinet has developed techniques for working any event with ease." --Chicago Tribune "Jeanne Martinet has come to the rescue of wallflowers everywhere with The Art of Mingling...a book full of witty one-liners." --Daily Mirror (UK) "If your idea of absolute terror is a room full of strangers at a party...then you'd benefit from The Art of Mingling." --Single Life Magazine "Anyone who reads [The Art of Mingling] will end up being the belle of the ball....I love it. I love it. I love it." --Marjabelle Young Stewart "Having all my life dreaded social mingling with an ever increasing unease, I will now carry The Art of Mingling with me wherever I go, knowing I will no longer be at a loss for words." --J. P. Donleavy "Boy, do I need Jeanne Martinet's The Art of Mingling... (Martinet notes astutely that we have atrophied mingling muscles.)
