Spam Kings

By CO Staff @canadaone |

Title: Spam Kings
Author: Brian McWilliams
Publisher: O'Reilly
ISBN: 0-596-00732-9

Open your email inbox today and you are likely to find a deluge of spam. In Spam Kings Brian McWilliams takes us behind the scenes into the lives of the "... high-rolling hucksters pushing porn, pills and @*#?% enlargements."

The result is an engaging tale that reads more like a fiction novel than a business book.

In Spam Kings you won't find a dry prescriptive look at how you can handle the spam coming into your inbox. You will read about how ex-Nazi turned spammer Davis Wolfgang Hawke became a millionaire by the age of 25 by sending spam promoting penis enlargement pills and his confrontations with anti-spam fighter Susan Gunn. Along the way you will gain a better understanding of how spam works, with some tips on how you can keep these annoying messages out of your inbox.

If you are looking for a technical manual on spam this is not the book for you. But if you are interested in a story of intrigue and underhanded dealings set against the stage of a brave new world, then definitely pick up a copy of Spam Kings. Different from many business books, I found this one hard to put down.
