You're low. Really low. Haven't gotten off the couch all weekend. Stopped returning phone calls. It feels like the sun will never shine again, and you're living on chocolate and bad TV. There's Prozac, of course, but who can be bothered going to the doctor? What you need is immediate help. You need cheering up. And here it is.
 Clever, witty, full of comfort and sympathy, 64 Ways to Beat the Blues offers instantaneous relief through the gift of laughter. Written and illustrated in full-color by Yolanda Nave--author of Breaking Up and Welcome to Our Company, together with 314,000 copies in print--it's a been-there, done-that guide to getting out of the dumps and getting on with your life. Try a pet--and watch him eat your rug. Phone a friend--though not one living in Paris while you're stuck in a snowstorm. Take in a funny movie--if you can stop crying long enough to laugh. Go shopping (and pretend you're not already wearing the push-up bra), find a good shrink (who won't fall asleep), or buy a brand new car (and tick off each payment). The situations are instantly recognizable, and whether the blues are seasonal, occupational, hormonal, or matrimonial, Yolanda Nave knows what it takes to laugh them away.

It's us against them in the business world, and helping bewildered newcomers along the tricky steps of a career path is the wise and winsome Yolanda Nave's playful spoof of the corporate workplace. More than 100 full-color drawings with captions tell the story of the new employee, from the moment she's congratulated as the best-qualified candidate ("You wouldn't mind watering the plants once a week, would you?") to the day she joins the system--and is attacked by a printer gone berserk, stands unrecognized at meetings, and savors the thought of her Christmas bonus (little does she know it will be a piece of fruit). No aspect of the workaday world is overlooked. Obscure laws of finance are gratefully demystified, such as the esoteric relationship between profits ("Sales are up and profits at an all-time high") and actual profit-sharing ("Now for the bad news. . . .") There's even a section on the six danger signs of coming stress. Clever and witty, this (equal opportunity) office manual belongs on every desk, right between the white-out and the stack of reports due yesterday. 180,000 copies in print.

Welcome to Our Company: Your Office Manual

Believing that ending a relationship is too depressing to go through alone, BREAKING UP offers solace, acceptance, several good laughs, and camaraderie to every woman who's been left behind, and is trying to deal with it. Yolanda Nave's little watercolor saga starts the moment what's-his-name walks out the door and ends when that old feeing called loneliness begins to feel like something else-freedom.
 Meanwhile, revenge is dealt with in page after page of gleeful drawings with wry captions. Including the reminder to agree with him when he stops by and admits he's a cad and the suggestion that his underwear should be returned haphazardly packed, but immaculately starched.
 BREAKING UP is a true-to-life documentation of the end of a love affair. But suddenly life doesn't seem so bad after all. Excerpted in Cosmopolitan. 133,000 copies in print.

How's a girl to know if he's the guy for you? What if your instincts are firing off warning signs when he says "It's your MIND I'm attracted to-" even while his eyes are on some other body part? What if he gets your name wrong? What if everything he says is lies? Are you still making excuses? Part self-help, part-good advice from a friend, all funny, all real, Red Flags is about believing your intuition. It's about listening to your female friends who might be able to see the truth in your situation. It's about finding what you want, not what you can settle for. And it's about trusting yourself. With 64 pages of hilarious cartoons, with real red-flag stickers so readers can mark their favorite cartoons and a fantastic little fold-over flap that makes the book a little mailable package, it's the anti-valentine for friends to give friends...by the dozen.
