"The GIrl's Guide To Being A Boss (Without Being A Bitch)" -- This could be a nice companion gift to "Nice Girls Don't Get The Corner Office."

"The Big Girls Club Workbook: Seven Team-Building Exercises For Women Who Work WIth Women" -- Is this a book for girls who are big who work with women who are also working with women in seven different fashions, each designed to build a team of women? Or is it girls? I'm confused.

"Navigating The Lipstick Jungle: Go From Plain Jane To Getting What You Want, Need, And Deserve!" -- And if you're uninterested in tackling your inner "plain Jane," prepare for a life without anything you want, need or deserve.

"The Naked Executive" -- No, really, she's literally naked. Get it? No? Neither do we. This one's title wouldn't be nearly so bad if it weren't for the… accompanying art.
