\nRight before we went to the printers I received one more blurb for the book.
\n 
\n\u201cThis<\/em>\u00a0is why I keep my money safe and sound under the mattress. You could get high just reading this book.<\/strong>\u00a0Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be Wall Street traders.”
\n–James Patterson, #1\u00a0New York Times<\/em>\u00a0bestselling author of\u00a0Along Came a Spider\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Kiss the Girls<\/em>
\n 
\nAnd I’m so thankful for all of the other people who blurbed for me before. I’m very excited for June 4th…

\n\u201cTurney Duff is a natural storyteller, and his tale of how\u00a0a naive kid from Maine traded in L.L. Bean for Armani and got sucked into the seamy side of Wall Street is almost impossible to put down.\u00a0The book is by turns hilarious, harrowing, maddening, and illuminating. After this debut, the smart money will be on Duff.\u201d
\n–Bethany McLean, New York Times bestselling author of\u00a0The Smartest Guys in the Room\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0All the Devils Are Here<\/em>

\n\u201cTurney Duff\u2019s\u00a0<\/strong>The Buy Side\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>picks up where the Academy Award-winning film about systemic corruption on Wall Street, \u2018Inside Job,\u2019 leaves off.<\/strong>\u00a0 Duff, who at one time was the promising rookie on the trading desk at troubled hedge fund Galleon,\u00a0gives us a front-row seat to the Street\u2019s dark side<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0but the tale also features a personal story that will have you cheering<\/strong>as Duff fights his way through a jungle of excess and figures out what really matters. To all those who want to rule the market not just during business hours but\u00a0after hours<\/em>, beware — you may not have Duff\u2019s survival skills.\u201d

\n 
\n\u201c<\/strong>The Buy Side\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>takes the reader on an extremely wild ride so eloquently and honestly that we never want it to end.<\/strong>\u00a0 Cocaine wants everything you love and everything that loves you. \u00a0Turney Duff had everything and nothing while trading billions of dollars on a razor’s edge. His book takes you from Wall Street to Skid Row to the Thompson Hotel \u2013 and then, mercifully, back to sanity and finding a place in the world.\u00a0Hang on,\u00a0<\/strong>The Buy Side\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>is gonna move you around, and there are no seatbelts to keep you from getting hit hard.\u201d<\/strong>

\n\u201c<\/strong>The Buy Side\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>is \u2018Wall Street\u2019 meets \u2018Breaking Bad\u2019 \u2013 except that this book is fact not fiction.<\/strong>\u00a0Turney Duff yields to temptation at every turn, and the sheer volume of criminal behavior he saw, and even participated in, is astonishing\u2026If you want to see Wall Street\u2019s seamy underbelly firsthand, read this book.\u201d

\n“If you took Gordon Gekko, Bud Fox, a copy of\u00a0Bright Lights, Big City<\/em>, and threw them in a blender with\u00a0an ounce of cocaine, a bottle of\u00a0Patron Tequila, and\u00a0your favorite\u00a0teddy bear\u00a0you’d have yourself a\u00a0Buy Side<\/em>\u00a0smoothie.\u00a0Turney’s my kind of guy; a madman with\u00a0heart.\u00a0\u00a0I couldn’t put the book down.”<\/strong>
\n–Colin Broderick, author of\u00a0Orangutan<\/em>
\n 
\n\u201cDoes Wall Street make people crazy or are crazy people simply attracted to Wall Street?\u00a0\u00a0The Buy Side<\/em>\u00a0doesn\u2019t get us any closer to answering that question, but along the way we get\u00a0a look<\/strong>\u00a0inside perhaps the most ethically-challenged investment firm in recent memory, and a harrowing journey through drug addiction and recovery.<\/strong>\u00a0 This is not a musical comedy; at the end, you\u2019re just relieved that Duff is alive.\u201d
\n–Jared Dillian, author of\u00a0Street Freak: Money and Madness at Lehman Brothers<\/em>
\n 
\n\u201cTurney Duff’s\u00a0The Buy Side\u00a0<\/em>is the perfect parable for Wall Street’s lost decade.\u00a0Duff\u2019s account of his rise and fall has it all, from a fast-paced coke-crazed trip through Manhattan nightlife that conjures\u00a0<\/strong>Bright Lights, Big City<\/strong><\/em>, to an eyewitness account of insider trading and front running that reads like a federal indictment.<\/strong>\u00a0Broke but not broken, Duff ends up better than others on Wall Street have–sober, chastened, and lucky to be alive after the self-destructive excesses of easy money and empty ambition.\u201d
