Description

A blog in book form devoted to the ups and downs of an assistant's life. Making The Devil Wears Prada (Broadway Books, 2006) look like a love story, Save the Assistants tells it like it really is for the millions who slave away under tyrannical bosses. With her trademark wit, Marcus breaks down the average day's work, from the mundane to the humiliating, and introduces readers to the different kinds of bosses people can suffer. Finally, this is the book assistants have always been waiting for.
