Long ago, the author gave away this book for free on one of her websites. It is a short story that demonstrates the principles behind Verbal Self-Defense. It was later printed by a publishing company called Lethe Press. I am unsure if this company still exists and used copies of this book are hard to find at any sort of reasonable price. Both humorous and insightful, it is well worth a read! Here is a PDF of the above webpages compiled into a single document in order to make it easier to do just that. This PDF is shared here for research purposes only!
