A bite out of the Big Apple

The author was six months short of receiving his gold watch for 20 years of service with Vance Publishing when they agreed to disagree. He don't know how much that watch was worth, but he really didn't care. He needed a change after nearly two decades with the same company. It was time to find a new position, so he put together a presentation of more than 20 pages. It included charts and graphs of his performance as a salesman and a publisher, with bottom line results. Because he had a six-month severance package, he was in no rush to find a spot. Looking to publish a magazine with revenues of at least $5 million, he set his criteria rather high.
