Customer Reviews

A disappointing book from an author I generally enjoy reading. - By: Mr. Edward W. Kenworthy, 21 Sep 2008
I've found his writing in the past to be interesting & thought provoking: I don't necessarily agree with alll of what he says but it's always worth reading. I was well aware that, in common with alll his previous books, this would be a dead-tree version of Joel's blog & various articles he's published on his web site

However what I didn't expect was that
- 40% would be a re-print of his immediately previous book, "Smart & gets things done",
- 20% self advertising or advertising for his company (the fact he's setup & runs a successful boutique web business adds to his credibility but outright repeated advertising in a paid-for book isn't acceptable).
- 20% newbies economic theory (hey Joel if I wanted an lesson in economics I don't think I'd buy one from you).

And only 10% is actuallly new & pertinent content.

A huge disappointment.
