Customer Reviews

Interesting business stories

I picked up this book out of boredom at the airport and read it nonstop for the greater part of an 8-hour transatlantic flight. Very interesting. If you happen to be interested in business stories, scandals, company management and the stock market, you're sure to enjoy this book. Most of the stories are captivating but in particular, I did enjoy the stories about Tyco, Starbucks and the fall of Anderson.

Great stories

I've read all of the editions of this series, and they seem to get better every year. Andrew does a great job of picking out stories that are entertaining reads to anyone as well as great business journalism stories. I found myself going through the book first and picking out the stories that I thought interested me the most, but then we I went back to read the others that I'd skipped, I discovered that all of them captured my attention.If you're in to reading great business stories that have been painstakingly reported, written and edited, this is what you need to buy.

Great; please continue series

This is a terrific book. Every article in it is well-written and interesting, unusual for an anthology as they almost always contain at least one or two flawed pieces. Not here. And what a range...from the usual suspects of Fortune, Wall Street Journal, etc. to the Detroit Free Press and even Mother Jones. The next volume for 2002 is also great.
