With equal amounts of insight and entertainment, The Amazing Adventures of Working Girl is an ideal tome for any gal, whether she loves, hates, or needs a job. "Working Girl" Karen Burns lists among her 59 (and counting) jobs, stints as model, bank teller, corporate drone, and cigarette girl, and her series of amusing vignettes, supplemented by silly cartoons, offers guidance on everything from managing the boss to surviving burnout. No matter what a working girl's goals are or where she is on the road to reaching them, she'll appreciate and learn from Burns's hard-earned wisdom. (barnesandnoble.com, $14.95)
