Another chance to win a book! This is an out of print, used book from my personal bookshelf. From the back cover:
“Civilized Assertiveness gives you the words to stand up for yourself while still being respectful of others.”
Learn six ways to say NO
Confront conflict and uncomfortable situations
Ask for a raise and help at work
Deal with toxic competition at work
You don’t have to be pushy to get what you want!
It’s a great book as evidenced by the fact that the 2003 edition has held its value and the cheapest used book is about $16.00. The book contains situational dialogs to help the reader grasp the concept of polite assertiveness. Dr. Judith S. McClure is an educational psychologist, business consultant and communications expert.

I guess I will enter.
I will give it to my fiancee if I win, although I don’t think she needs it. ^_^
This would be a lovely and much needed addition to my own personal library. I am well known among my friends as the one who has difficulty saying no.
I would love a book!
Yes, please, I would love this book. I have been told my my husband that while I am assertive, I am abrasive. Perhaps this is the book that would help!
Are non-US residents excluded?
Once again, thank you for doing this — I think, if I’m lucky enough to be chosen, this book could do a lot for me.
Thank you for the chance. I would like to be entered into the drawing.
Oh this is great! I once had a young man who wouldn´t leave me alone. His one line, ¨Aww, come on, what are you so afriad of?´ was met with a stern,¨I have every reason to be afraid of a man who doesn´t know the meaning of no.¨
Greatness ahead!
Thank you so much for the chance!
I’d like to enter. However, I live in the Netherlands, so I hope that sending it over won’t be a problem. I can pay for the postage if needed.
I would love to win.
I need this book in my life. I am a people pleaser even when I don’t want to be. I would like to know how to do what I want to do (or not to do) while not alienating others. Thanks for the opportunity.
Another interesting sounding book.
This sounds like a great book. I would love to learn how to say no without making excuses. I also want to learn how to stand up for myself without losing my cool.
Sounds like an awesome book! Here’s my entry.

Lord have mercy; I and all the female members of my family are in need of new ways to assert ourselves. Please enter me in your drawing.
I am very interested in this book. I work with only one other person who is a human freight train when it comes to me. Things have gotten better but I still need some help. Please enter me. Thank You for all the information I have gleened over the years of reading every single story in your archives while in lying in bed with my itty bitty book light attached to my ipad!!

Oh, wow. Pretty much every Kiwi female should have a copy of this, from the sounds of things.
Kiwi females have two options presented to them. Be butch or be a bitch.
By which, I mean take on everything like a pushy, unemotional man, or be a simperingly sweet backstabber. It’s not fun. The few women who dare to walk outside this model have a damned hard time. I would love some help in this area.
Thanks for the opportunity.
