Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Most travelers leave home Monday morning for a work week in the
Chicago office saying "Love yah, see you Friday." The hero in
"Rules for the Road" is a quantum leap from that lucky character.
Last Friday afternoon he kissed his wife passionately and said,
"Love you, hope to see you before next month arrives." You don't
fly home on Friday afternoons when you find yourself halfway around
the world.
We join our hero on a train in China headed for Nanjing where he
and his team are about to begin another round of negotiations with
a Chinese company to enter into a joint venture. The meetings,
however, quickly take a back seat to the culture of the people,
their mannerisms, food, drink and the winsome ways of their women
with a personal agenda.
When the trip gets extended by an extra week and a half, his
life and the temptations of the flesh become almost intolerable.
Our loving husband finds himself swept up in dangerous events that
he has neither contemplated nor imagined. In other words, the
magnetism of his personality has a precarious impact on the women
he meets: this Svengali makes swooning ladies act out naughty
thoughts.
