i gotta say i really think this book is poorly designed. the type is hard to read, and the idea of having parts of the interviews here and parts online is ok, but is realized poorly -- why not publish highlights from the interview rather than just exactly what fits in a certain space? oh right, laziness. i mean hipness, sorry. however, worth looking at for its presentation of some small firms you might never hear about otherwise.
