"With her recent book Napkin Finance, Tina Hay takes a decidedly more lively and lighthearted approach to this serious subject...Napkin Finance works as much because of its visuals as the words. The drawings make complicated subjects such as asset allocation, estate planning, and IPOs less imposing. There's also an element rarely found in the finance genre: humor. And could we ever use some of that now."
- Mark Pothier, Boston Globe
