Dirk Willard Knew!!

The Alarm Management Handbook is now in its SIXTH printing.

This says two things.

1)     The book is good. 

      REAL GOOD.

2)     The sales we forecast for the book are low. 

      WAY TOO LOW.

In addition, the book’s ISA twin, “Alarm Management: Seven Effective Methods for Optimum Performance” is also selling well – a pleasure to both the ISA and PAS.

But this posting is not about the book – there’s plenty of others about that – click here or here or here.

This posting is about a real-life action figure hero.

This posting is about Dirk Willard.

Dirk is a practicing chemical engineer (hurray! – the world needs more of these – but more on that at another time) and is also a freelance editor for Chemical Processing magazine, writing Field Notes and developing engineering puzzles for the Puzzler column.

In short, Dirk is an engineer’s engineer with 25 years of experience in the business.

As a technical expert who can write, Dirk is also a frequent reviewer on the book scene, having reviewed about ONE HUNDRED books on Amazon.com alone.

Dirk gave our book FIVE STARS. His opening paragraph says it all…

If this book is not on your shelf and you've been told to cut down on the nuisance alarms or else --- start looking for a new job!

I guess our sales forecasts for the book would have been a whole lot better if we had taken his review more seriously....
