Somebody has evidently been reading 'How To Run A Railway Properly For Dummies'.

Made me smile ... I had been thinking of writing "Campaigning for Dummies", bearing in mind that the subtext is "an a reference / reminder for the rest of us" but decided to write at http://www.passenger.chat/better/campaigning.html to avoid any potential conflict with the branding

What transport related book "for dummies" would you read? Or write??
