Customers rated Entrepreneur Magazine: Encyclopedia of Entrepreneurs 5.0 stars out of 5.0 based on 1 reviews:Huge Incredible Book Of Entrepreneurial Inspiration
by Steve (New York) - 2000-03-23
This book is worth more than 5 stars.Encyclopedia Of Entrepreneurs is a large, 512 page book, with biographies of over 400 companies. There is an index of companies, and also an index of entrepreneurs.Although there are a few small photographs of some of the entrepreneurs, the book is really well filled with words. It is not puffed up with blank space or other filler material techniques. Biographies range from less than a page, to several pages, and are all fascinating. They tell of all the entrepreneurial angles that someone would want; personal lives of the entrepreneurs as well as business information, and how they relate to each other. Some of the companies covered are: Asylum Records, Baskin Robbins, Chicago Cubs, Dell Computer, Eastman Kodak Company, Fuller Brush Company, The Golden Nugget, The Hoover Company, Intuit Inc., Jet Magazine, Kellogg Company, LL Bean Inc., Murphy Oil Corporation, Nebraska Furniture Mart, Oscar Mayer & Company, Putt-Putt Golf Courses, QVC Network, Radio Shack, Sylvania, Tyson Foods, United Parcel Service, Van Camp Seafood Company, Woolworth Corporation, Zambelli International Fireworks; and hundreds more.For entrepreneurial inspiration through real life accounts, Encyclopedia Of Entrepreneurs is incredible for it's quality as well as it's enormous quantity.
