DESCRIPTION

I have just published my first book - How to Plan Small Projects. I thought I'd create a Book Trailer to tell people about it. I ended up making two trailers: one about what's in the book (this one), and one about what the book is for (the other one). ...Geoff (www.performancepeople.com.au)
