NEVER FIGHT WITH A PIG: A SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR ENTREPRENEURS Peter Thomas Toronto, Macmillan, 1991. 204pp, cloth, $27.95 ISBN 0-7715-9139-X. CIP Grades 11 and up/Ages 16 and up Reviewed by Pat Bolger Volume 20 Number 1 1992 January A successful entrepreneur and founder of Century 21 Canada, Peter Thomas had to fight for financial survival in the aftermath of his associate Nelson Skalbania's bankruptcy in 1982. He draws here on that experience, his years with Donald Cormi's Principal Group, and his attempt to buy Heritage USA from Jim Bakker's bankrupt PTL Ministry. The insider information is fascinating, but the advice he offers is repetitious: Peter Thomas's Ten Inspira­tional Motivators, Seven Pillars of Entrepreneurial Wisdom, Six Lessons I Learned the Hard Way, and so on. Teenagers who are interested in a career in business or sales could benefit from Thomas' cautionary tale. Librar­ians who are planning to add it to the Canadian business section may, for reasons of economy, prefer to wait for the paperback. Pat Bolger, Renfrew, Ont.
