TOTOWA, N.J. -- Each year
the North American Bookdealers Exchange, located in Cottage Grove, Ore., awards
the Pinnacle Book Achievement Award to books in 12 categories. Al Galasso, the
NABE director, announced the 2006 winners in late March. "The Importance of
Civility," by T.S. Bogorad, Esq., won in the category of self-help.

"So many ideas in that book are right on point," said Galasso. "So much
so, that I wish I could hand them out to all the rude people that I meet
every day."
Galasso described "The Importance of Civility" as an upbeat, easy-to-read
book that should be required reading for businesses, schools, churches and
everyone who deals with the public on a daily basis. By addressing the topic
of civility from a novel point of view, the book presents a clear road map
for a successful social environment and a pleasant way to live life to the
fullest.
Although the North American Bookdealers Exchange was the first to give
"The Importance of Civility" an award, Professor Douglas Bender of the
School of Business Administration at Widener University in Chester, Pa.,
originally recognized its value in October 2006, soon after it was released
by AuthorHouse. Bender immediately arranged for Bogorad to address his
freshmen business students as well as a group of MBA candidates. Bender
believes "The Importance of Civility" to be relevant to the development of a
positive organizational culture through a better understanding of oneself as
well as how we interact with each other. He is not surprised that the book
received an award, due to the way it was written.

BBS Radio personality Donna Seebo featured Bogorad during her
regular radio program on March 12 and recommended Bogorad's book to
her listeners. And Hap Cooper, a distinguished lecturer and writer
in the areas of change-management and sales effectiveness, endorsed
"The Importance of Civility" in February.
When asked why she thought "The Importance of Civility" won a
Pinnacle Book Achievement Award, Bogorad said, "I think my book
received the award because I wrote about a topic that is on
everyone's mind and because my words struck a chord with the
judges."
T.S. Bogorad is an attorney in Totowa, N.J., and is the founder
of Place for the Three Cs, a venture that promotes civility and
endeavors to enhance social interaction skills. She is a resident of
Wayne, N.J., and grew up in Athens, Pa.
