Finished Business Books

Apologies to all those folk who have sent in their business books for review. We’ve had a bit of trouble finding people to review them. There are 65 people in the office space  we share and when we asked last week if anyone would like to do a review of one of 9 business books on our desks, only 1 got taken.

Are business books today too long? Are we so submerged by a mass of snippets and hurried in the need to scan everything and anything that we avoid deep books that offer more of the same – in fact, a dated version of more of the same. Why are these books so long?

Also why do these books take so long to print? We are looking forward to Anastasia’s book on digital youth next year, but as she put it to bed a few months you can;t help from wondering if some of the information will be out of date when it gets released. It’s not Anastasia’s fault – it’s the publishing world not responding to what we want – shorter, more helpful books. Ones we can read in a single flight.

What do you think? Anyone FINISHED a good business book recently?
