As metaspencer points out, the MLA job list came out last week. I don't usually make it a practice to recommend a book I've never read, but I still feel qualified to recommend the book at left, because I lived it.
My best guess is that Kathryn Hume's book is a straight-shooting guide to a rather brutal process. Let's just say that Hume's placement ship was run a lot like Pat Head Summitt's pre-tourney practices: intense, thorough, and a little bit painful. Oh, and both enjoy a hard look at the practice videotape.
Those of you who have actually read the book are invited to share your thoughts in the comments.
