Because I hail from the software industry I have a particular affinity for businesses that start in a garage. So we're very happy to have as this week's sponsor Total Recall Press, which was founded by an ex-NASA employee who invented a successful line of computer certification products and then widened to library and information science texts.

When Total Recall introduced updated editions of their very popular line of text/workbooks for library students and technicians, their phone lines were jammed with calls from libraries and library schools. They are renowned (and widely adopted as standard texts) because of their step-by-step approach to teaching or refreshing professional skills. This line will be on display at the Combined Book Exhibit at ALA in just a few days, and of course you can check them out at their website:
