Scribble scribble scribble, eh Messrs Harris and Mainelli? Yes, the terrible twins have been at it again; their second book is out - Information Technology for the Not-for-Profit Sector, ICSA Publishing, ISBN 1860721303 (order early to avoid disappointment). This book is truly a first on this subject and much needed in the sector. Much like latter-day Woody Allen movies, the new book has fewer laughs than the seminal Clean Business Cuisine: Now and Z/Yen, Milet Publishing, ISBN 1840592273 (order today to beat the rush). Having achieved Sunday Times "Book of the Week" and Waterstones' "Christmas Recommended" with Clean Business Cuisine, the lads are holding out great hopes for the new title – nomination for the Sleepless in Seattle award has already led to rumours of talks with Spielberg over movie rights.

Janie and Elisabeth, who were often weekend widows during the book’s creation, have demanded assurances that the authors give it (their public) a rest. Now & Z/Yen can exclusively reveal the solemn promise the girls extracted from the lads: "never again, until the next one".
