What's in the 2010 CWIM?...

Wanted to get in a quick post today before I go pick up the boy--thought I'd share a bit of the table of contents for the 2010 CWIM (available early August) so you all can see what's in store. I've got some terrific features and interview this year! (Plus now when you buy the book you have access to all the market in a searchable online database. Finally!) Take a look:
