[AJOCPA at aol.com]

Hi Gotham,

Lets get out there and support my client at her book signing on Wednesday, 
8/17 7:00 pm, at the Barnes and Noblet on 6th Ave. and 22nd Street. I will be 
there after the Gotham Bombers playoff game! See the write up below.

Anthony Orlando

Hi, Anthony . . .
Don't know if you got my first email -- AOL spam-blocking has been a pain -- 
but wanted to remind you that my book signing is tomorrow night,  Wed., Aug. 
17th.  I will, of course, send you a comp copy whether you attend or not, since 
the book is dedicated "to my accountant Anthony, who told me never to throw 
away a credit card bill."   Here are the details, and feel free to pass them on 
to anyone else who you think might be interested.
Hope to see you there.  (Oh, and I seem to recall getting an envelope from 
your office -- haven't opened bills in weeks, but will attend to this next week.)
Amy

     "Plastic fantastic! Delightful . . . Borkowsky’s accountant once advised 
her never to throw away a
credit-card bill. For that we owe him a debt of gratitude."
-- MSNBC.com

"Credit this writer for life lessons with a few laughs . . . sure to bring a 
smile . . ."
-- USA Today

"Manages to be both funny and poignant . . . Bridget Jones' diary with dollar 
signs."
-- Budget Living

     First, she shared phone messages from her overprotective mother in the 
highly praised Amy's Answering Machine CDs and book... and now Amy turns to 
another inventive source, her  American Express bills, to take readers on a 
joyride  through all the twists and turns of the single life in  STATEMENTS: True 
Tales of Life, Love, and Credit Card Bills. Every purchase tells a story. 
     Not long ago, Amy Borkowsky was looking through some boxes in her closet 
and became all-out, mascara-running, nose-blowing nostalgic. The boxes didn't 
hold faded photographs or love letters. They held twelve years of credit card 
statements, chronicling virtually every significant event in her life as a 
single career woman.
     While she was too busy to keep a diary, it turned out that American 
Express had been keeping one for her. And, quite unintentionally, they helped her 
write STATEMENTS; True Tales of Life, Love and Credit Card Bills (August 2005, 
Roadside Amusements/Chamberlain Bros./Penguin Group, hardcover, $19.95).
     The good folks at Amex recorded for all eternity the fact that on July 
7th, 1992, Amy spent $89.12 at Victoria's Secret -- and that on July 17th she 
returned the entire purchase, documenting in black and white a relationship 
that unraveled just before The Lingerie Phase. The $30.25 charge for Amy's first 
Caller ID box forever preserves the memory of her fruitless attempts to avoid 
her interfering mother, and Amy can tell just how many late nights she worked 
at her high-pressure ad job by tracking the charges for Chinese takeout.  
Statements is an entertaining collection of true stories about how one woman, 
quite literally, spent her early years living, working, and looking for love in 
Manhattan, when it seemed like the only knight in armor she'd find was the one 
on the front of her Amex card.  MORE INFO AT   SendAmy.com
