From the Back Cover

Finally, ideas for successful ways to go to bat, or battle, against those inconsiderate, unruly, unusual, or downright obnoxious neighbors.

Whether the situation calls for a friendly negotiation or an all-out war, Outwitting Neighbors is the source to call on. Bill Adler, Jr. offers sage and sane counsel to help navigate: condo, co-op, and homeowner associations; property boundary disputes; foliage wars; noisy neighbors and neighbors who are slobs; weird and uncivilized neighbors (and advice for when you're the weird neighbor); neighbors who use their front yards as junkyards for abandoned cars, have bad teenage children, don't keep their large dogs leashed, have litigious tendencies, and worse. With sections called 'Loud Music, Rowdy Parties, Sleepless Nights,' 'Beware the Squatter,' 'Petty, Sweet Revenge,' 'Alternative Ways to Peace,' 'Parking Lot War Rules,' Outwitting Neighbors is full of humor and sound advice.
