WALL STREET WOMAN: A DATING LIFE IS A BESTIARY OF THE MEN IN THE ORBIT OF A SINGLE PROFESSIONAL WOMAN IN NEW YORK CITY.
This authoritative guide profiles men found almost exclusively in Manhattan, including the jet-setting Don Juan Dinero, the hip downtown artist The Visionary and the driven workaholic Treadmill. Others are universal types who are abundant in the big city: ladies' man Jack of Hearts, social climbing Club Cadet, ambitious Boy Wonder, aristocratic romantic Major Gelatin.
Some of these guys merely pass through town, like your high school boyfriend Teen Crush and the eternal dreamer Cloud Voyager. No guide would be complete without the men who are found anywhere and everywhere, such as the recently divorced Born Again Bachelor, very married philanderer Hopalong Husband, disappointed ex-professional Trainwreck and the deadly dull Dialtone.
Each man is thoroughly described so you can immediately recognize him - how he discusses his interests, presents his accomplishments, tells you he likes you, asks you to bed, and talks about your future together. Good reasons to date him are also proposed.
Finally, Mr. Right is celebrated in glorious detail. He's clearly worth waiting for.
When anyone asks, "Why aren't you married?" tell her to buy this book.
"Tom Linden, a Central Park tour guide with a masters degree in History, meets five members of the original inhabitants of Manhattan Island, who wake from four centuries of suspended animation, and seek his help to reclaim Manhattan island from the evil wizard Peter Minuit, who tricked them into a four hundred year lease. The lease is up, and they want their island back but Peter Minuit is a powerful and nasty wizard, and he won't give up his island easily."
The following evening, Tom sat in a shady glen in the park in the city eating his supper. There was a thud and a jigger, and what felt like an earthquake. Tom was shocked when suddenly surrounded by Native Americans in local seventeenth century garb. Five of them.
The leader of the natives was called Flying Cloud He and his tribe explain that Peter Minuit never bought the island and the lease is up. Tom, expert on Manhattan, is moved by their plight and leads them through a modern Manhattan. But Peter Minuit is a wicked sorcerer, and won't give it up so easily!
