Book excerpt: Judging by the books already available with the words "Plate Spinning" in the title, there is a good chance that you picked this up because you are a working parent trying to balance your home life with a busy career. If so, I can't help you. This book deals with plate spinning in the strictly literal sense. Unless you are interested in spinning ceramic plates on sticks, I won't waste any more of your precious time, save to say, best of luck with the kids and the job. If you are actually interested in spinning actual plates on actual sticks, then this is the book for you (but if you end up struggling to balance your home life with your busy career as a plate spinner, then don't say I didn't warn you).
