The Vatican City --- The smallest country in the world, home to the leader of the Catholic Church and the stronghold for most of the faithful; the habitat of a significant number of treasures that have aged to be almost untouchable; perhaps uniquely surreal; one of the most secure places in the world, until now... Robert Gallant, through tireless years of research and dialogues with the minds behind historical concepts in Rome, presents his latest thriller, Rob the Vatican --- a novel that morphs the Citt del Vaticano into the center of what could be the greatest heist in history. While this tiny state is known for being impervious, Gallant opens his readers' eyes into the possibility of the impossible --- a concept most often taught within the walls of this faithful religion.
Scammers beware...In this fast paced, no holds barred book, Rob Anspach takes on the scam callers, spammy emailers and fraudulent texters and delivers a laugh-out-loud resource teaching readers the art of defending themselves against these nefarious crooks."Never in my wildest imagination did I realize taking scam calls could be so much fun. My favorite is the "bank job" one... so good Rob does the "tough" job of talking to, texting, and emailing scammers so you don't have to. And in between the stories, he shares valuable tips which could save you or your family a boatload of headaches."- Lynn Swayze, Kick Ass Direct Response Copywriter"Rob Anspach has written an entertaining & easy-to-read book laying out some of the most common digital and phone scams that we're all dealing with on a regular basis. Technology has certainly made it easier for you to find your long, lost wealthy "relatives" and to assist kindhearted people get large sums of money out of their countries, if only you can "help" them by posing as a "next-of-kin" of the deceased, or to aid a wealthy, dying widow support some of her favorite "pet" causes. So PRESS 1 for entertainment and get this book " - Michael E. Schmidlen, The Old Bull, Old Bulls Marketing"Think of Rob Anspach as Scammer TSA...and he's wearing an extra-large rubber glove." - Steve Gamlin, Keynote Speaker/Author, The Motivational Firewood(TM) GuyIn this humorous handy-dandy "must-have" book, Rob takes you on his adventures dealing with...-Card Services, -Electric Rate Scammers, -IRS Lawsuit Scams, -Craigslist Auto Scams, -Coca Cola Lottery, -Bitcoin Email Scam, -Microsoft Warning, -Domain Jacking...just to name a few, ...and shows you how to fight the scam calls, emails and texts.

In this book Rob not only provides the words we all wish we could think of when these people call us, but also how to stay safe from scams and where to report them. Overall, a light entertaining read that will have you in admiration of his quick wit and one man mission to rob the scammers of time and patience " - Cemanthe McKenzie, Managing Director, New Media Angels Ltd. (United Kingdom)"Rob Anspach has written what can only be considered a social primer for dealing effectively with phone scammers while at the same time thoroughly enjoying yourself at their expense.Not so very long ago I did what I considered to be the 'right thing' by adding my cell phone to the government DO NOT CALL list. I know, I know, what was I thinking? Before making that fatal mistake when my phone rang I knew it was only one of a handful of people who actually have my number. Then...the calls began. And they kept coming. It got so bad that I had to turn the ringer off on my phone and even considered getting a new number. Rob to the rescue He began sharing his hilarious dialogues with these scammers on Facebook and I got to where I went looking for them each day and was actively disappointed when there was nothing new. I even copied some into scripts of a sort and began using them against our shared mortal enemies. If you feel the need to say hello when your phone rings, have this primer ready "-Denise Griffitts, Your Office On The Web
Morons Beware...If you had the misfortune of wasting Rob's time on the phone or in person, there's a good chance your story is in this book. You'll either love this book or you will hate it. It was written that way. For those that believe the customer is always right and you should bend over and take it...will hate the book. Those who believe every entrepreneur should run their business on their terms and if a customer doesn't like those terms should go elsewhere...will love the book. Rob flips customer service on it's ear and kicks it right in the jimmies. He doesn't hold punches and frankly has no time for wishy washy policies or silly shenanigans. Curious? Maybe you're already triggered? Maybe, just maybe, this will be the book that opens your eyes and gets you to rethink customer service from the ground up."Whoever coined the phrase 'the customer is always right' was probably a customer lobbing a feebly-thrown Hail Mary pass from deep in their own end zone, backed into a corner by their own arrogance and ignorance. In this book, Rob says what many of us wish we had the balls to say. And, as long as he can keep these misguided fools on the phone, he will continue to gather evidence which proves that a portion of the business world seems to enjoy keeping its head lodged in a warm, dark place...like an ostrich that has lost its sense of smell." - Steve Gamlin, The Motivational Firewood(TM) Guy"If you have ever had the misfortune of dealing with incompetent customer service on the phone or online, then you must read Rob's new book which takes you in-depth into conversations with customer service representatives who have absolutely no clue what they are doing.Reading Rob's fast-paced, story-filled book makes you feel as if you are secretly listening in on his mind-blowing conversations not only with customer service but also with business owners and entrepreneurs who don't understand what it means to play by the rules. Logic gets thrown out the window when trying to explain to a customer service rep how ridiculous it is to receive a reference number for something that no one ever takes any notes about. Equally insane is when a business owner attempts to do things their own way and expects Rob to play along. Learn how Rob uses his sarcasm and wit to make his point over and over again. As you read along, you will say to yourself "That's exactly what happened to me the last time I was on the phone with customer service " Do yourself a favor, get a copy of Rob's new book "Rob Versus The Morons" immediately. You'll thank me, you'll thank Rob and then you'll start searching to learn where you can get a copy of "Rob Versus The Scammers" which is even funnier." - Gerry Oginski, Great Neck, N.Y."A brilliant read I'm a bit of a "grammar police" myself, so the first 'story' hit home I loved the notes at the end of each lesson I abhor Customer Service Assistants who don't understand English, so I can identify with the sarcasm used - at times it was like you were in my head, saying my words Be glad you don't have to deal with some CS Departments in South Africa You'd be able to write volumes Some people just don't, can't or won't listen Other people named..." and "A priest, A Rabbi & A President....." had me howling. I read them both twice, just for fun. A good, quick read, guaranteed to cheer you up on a grey day - Sioux Gijzen, Boksburg, Gauteng South AfricaWho's ready to be entertained, while discovering the true meaning on how to effectively train customers to play by your rules?

Humanity Beware...This third book in the Rob Versus series exposes the shenanigans of time wasters, fraudsters and fools as they try but ultimately fail, to outwit, outlast and outlive Mr. Sarcasm himself, Rob Anspach."I sat at the kitchen table with my adult daughter and read her half the book. She couldn't stop laughing. I couldn't stop laughing. She kept asking me to continue reading because it was so entertaining and so true. She loved the sarcasm. She loved when the scammers were put in their place. We loved the stories that expose the liars and the time wasters. This book was a quick and fun read in the tradition of all the Rob Versus books. It's enjoyable, it's laugh out loud funny, and you know when you are laughing you've been in his exact situation and wish you had said what Rob had just said. I highly recommend reading this book and give it five stars." Gerry Oginski"Amusing read If you've ever wanted to respond sarcastically to stupid people yet usually keep your mouth shut, live vicariously through Rob and get this book." Lynn Swayze"A quick scan tells me I can't wait to have this book in my hands and in my "Rob Anspach Library" As always, I love your sarcastic, breezy style " Ben Gay III"Rob Anspach's, Rob Versus Humanity book is hilarious" - Greg JamesonYou ready to experience a book that entertains while at the same time teaches you how to be a better human, adapt to societal changes and run an effective and prosperous business on your terms?

Entitled Beware..."In 'Rob Vs. The Entitled', Rob Anspach continues his tales of battling those people without whom life would be more enjoyable -- namely The Entitled. The Entitled are those who want something for nothing, and want Rob to provide it. His varying ways of shutting them down are detailed in this hilarious account of what lengths The Entitled will go to in order to get stuff for free or reduced price -- all at Rob's expense, of course.With humorous candor, Rob flatly refuses to deal with The Entitled except on his terms, and tells them so. Their astounded replies to Rob's salty comebacks are a delight to read for those who wish to free themselves from the tyranny of providing always-smiley customer service that causes us as entrepreneurs to drink after hours. Rob's account of demanding and oafish potential clients and employers reminds me why I'm happiest when working on my own terms, and living my life my way.Rob actually does what "nicer" people fear to do, daring to "offend" the offensive, call out (by name--have you seen Chapter Nine?) the demanding and entitled, and make fun of the blatantly stupid. If you'd like all the humor, but none of the hassle of dealing with The Entitled, then you simply must read this book. Angela Langlotz "I always expect to like anything Rob Anspach writes. Rob is smart, bright, sharp and very funny/sarcastic. His latest effort, "Rob Versus The Entitled" is no exception. I learned and smiled from beginning to end . . . even laughing out loud several times. Get out your Hi-Liter pen and dig in This one is a real keeper." Ben Gay III "ROB... LOVED the book Definitely worth the read Made me chuckle more than once and I even have a few favorites. Thank you " Faith Sage "I'm not usually one for sequels. Too often, they've wrecked franchises. But Rob is different. The scripts keep showing up on his doorstep...and they are gold. At this point, I'm pretty sure if Rob was asked "If you were stuck on a deserted island for 5 years, what would you bring with you?", he would reply: "A solar-powered cell-phone with Caller ID". By the time he got rescued, he'd have a half-dozen new books. This edition is my new favorite. I believe it should be combined with Mad Libs(R) and given to everyone over the age of 65 as a weapon against scammers. If my Dad was still alive, he would've gotten this book for Christmas." Steve Gamlin This is Book 4 of the Rob Versus series and you'd think by now people would avoid the very circumstances that got their friends into hot water with Rob Anspach. Yay, you would think. As you will soon find out, that's just not the case. And, fortunately for you, the reader, sarcasm is a beautiful way to handle any and all circumstances. As with the prior Rob Versus books in dealing with Rob's interactions with scammers, morons, lousy customer service, fraudsters, fools and time wasters, this book follows suit and continues on with even more shenanigans, tomfoolery and the occasional verbal judo. It's a fast paced, laugh-out-loud riot session followed by a short thought, note or life lesson. "Sarcasm is my native tongue and a true art form, but nobody skewers the perpetually entitled (and offended) like Rob does in this most recent masterpiece This book demonstrates not only that the entitled among us are growing more and more bold, but that they can be defeated and demoralized with a little common sense and a heavy dose of the sarcastic arts. If sarcasm were a religion, Rob Anspach would be our High Priest. Well done " Michelle Woolard Pippin Grab your copy today, sit back and enjoy some great laughs while you learn how to deal with scammers, time wasters, fraudsters and lousy customer reps just like Rob does.
Rob Starr was out of Mia Morgan's league. Of course she had a crush on him. Everyone did. Not that she could ever admit that. It would just be too weird. For starters, their moms were besties and Mia had known Rob since she was five. But while Mia was now a demi-geek with relentlessly-frizzy hair, Rob had become a demi-god and Ellsworth High's basketball superstar. Besides, he'd been going out with the totally perfect Chloe Olsen since, like, forever.But one October afternoon, a terrible accident changed everything. Mia and Rob were suddenly living in the same house and spending a lot of time alone together. Soon, Mia's world was changing in ways she never thought possible: new clothes, new friends, and an incredibly hot boyfriend. But was any of it real? Would any of it last? And did getting everything she wanted mean giving up everything she was?
You're Not Rob Snarski is the first book by eminent musician Rob Snarski. From Perth to Europe and all points in between, he shares his observations and insights from the music world he has performed in, the people he has worked with, the domesticated animals he has loved, and the things he's had to do to pay the rent.

Rob Roy Way is a walk across part of the Southern Highlands of Scotland taking in some of the most beautiful countryside in the UK. Starting from Drymen it goes north east to finish in Pitlochry.
With an Introduction and Notes by David Blair. From its first publication in 1816 Rob Roy has been recognised as containing some of Scott's finest writing and most engaging, fully realised characters. The outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor was already a legendary, disputed figure by the time Scott wrote - a heroic Scottish Robin Hood to some, an over-glamorised, unprincipled predator to others. Scott approaches Rob Roy indirectly, through the adventures of his fictional hero, Frank Osbaldistone, amid the political turmoil of England and Scotland in 1715. With characteristic care Scott reconstructs the period and settings so as to place Rob Roy and the Scotland he inhabits amid conflicting moral, economic and historical forces. This edition features, besides a new critical introduction and extensive explanatory notes, an essay outlining clearly the novel's historical context and a glossary of Scottish words and phrases used by Scott's colourful, vernacular characters.
A Superb historical novel set in the late seventeenth century, Rob Roy is also an adventure story. In his tragic portrait of Rob Roy MacGregor, he shows the feudal world of the Highlands withering away under the onslaught of new commercial and political realities.
