Debra Giuliano | 1 comments I watched Mandy's ChicScope with the three titles under consideration for our September read. Since I really should be doing something else, of course I spent time on Amazon checking them out. Here is my quick comparison:

Lean Startup by Eric Reis
• 336 pages
• Published in 2011
• For entrepreneurs - launching
• 884 reviews on Amazon
• Kindle version $10.99

Write It Down – Make It Happen by Henriette Anne Klauser
• 250 Pages
• Appears to be more about business philosophy
• Published January 2001
• 237 Reviews on Amazon
• Kindle version $13.99 (paperback $10.67)

Zero to One by Peter Thiel
• 223 pages
• Business strategy and motivation
• Published September 2014
• 1,069 Reviews on Amazon
• Kindle version $11.99

I'm inclined to vote for Zero to One because it is the most current, and I am a babe in the virtual woods, I need to learn specific strategies that work right now in today's business environment.

Hey ya'll!!! It appears we were at 50/50 on Write It Down and Zero to One. Let's do this. Since we decided on bookclub a little later in the month let's read Zero to One in September and Write It Down in October?
