When I hear this title and think of who would buy the book, I imagine some guy with tear-stained cheeks, who has only recently arrived at the final stage of grief (acceptance), sheepishly approaching the checkout at the bookstore, getting ready to say, “It’s for a friend” to the cashier.

A Very Sad Book Title
"Managing Catastrophic Loss of Sensitive Data"
When I hear this title and think of who would buy the book, I imagine some guy with tear-stained cheeks, who has only recently arrived at the final stage of grief (acceptance), sheepishly approaching the checkout at the bookstore, getting ready to say, “It’s for a friend” to the cashier.
I feel for this guy.
