In this series of uniquely practical insider guides, we find out exactly what you need to know when you become one of the world's great leaders. Accurate, detailed diagrams and maps reveal the inner workings of private offices, security arrangements, and where to find the bathroom.

How to Be Pope lets the newly selected pontiff in on such crucial information as which hat and robes to wear to which event, how to choose a Papal name, and whether the Pope is entitled to a vacation. From a quick course in remedial Latin phrases to an illustrated guide to waving, this is a resource no Pope can afford to be without. Piers Marchant is a journalist and editor who has published travel guides with Fodor's and Not for Tourists. He lives in Philadelphia.

Whether you are looking to land your next big gig or put more juice in your current job, this book will take you on the adrenaline-charged fast track you need to get there.
