During the first decade of the new millennium one of the most popular features in the community paper The Wilmington Spectator was the "Visit with Uncle Richard" series. Written by Spectator columnist and editor Pat Gibbs, the Uncle Richard character was based on Pat's actual uncle who nicknamed him Bubby. The stories and adventures of Uncle Richard are legendary in the city of Wilmington, Delaware. Though Uncle Richard left us some years ago, his "favorite and only nephew" kept his memory alive after Uncle Richard's passing. The Wilmington Spectator shut down its presses in 2007, but Uncle Richard's fans have never forgotten him. Now we can enjoy Uncle Richard's shenanigans for years to come in this enjoyable compilation.

In this extensively revised and expanded second edition, Uncle Eric introduces the concept of model. Models (or paradigms) are how people think; they are how we understand our world. Models help us recognize and use the information that is important and bypass that which is not. To achieve success in our careers, investments, and every other part of our lives, we need sound models. In this book, Mr. Maybury introduces the models he has found most useful (Economics and Higher Law). This is the first book in the Uncle Eric series and, while designed to stand alone, provides an excellent foundation for Maybury's other books.Quality paper, 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", 192 pages.
