Dear Colleagues, There are four titles available for review in the October issue of 'European Information'. The deadline is 6 September; reviews should be about 300 words long. Please note that books are NOT offered on the basis of 'first come, first served' - I usually allow a few days for 'latecomers' to register their interest. Preference will, however, usually be given to EIA members. Anyone interested in reviewing one - or more - should contact me as soon as possible... 1. World Consumer Lifestyles Databook: Key Trends Euromonitor, 2002 Price: £545 The Euromonitor website says this is "a brand new book ... the ideal source to consult if you need to understand who consumers are, and the major characteristics of their lifestyles.
