Best Biz Books
None of the titles on Time magazine’s list of the five best business books of the year will be a surprise.
More useful from a library standpoint is 1-800-CEO-READ’s Best Business Book Awards of 2009, because it includes books on practical subjects people are looking for these days, like how to run a small business, management and salesmanship (here’s a title that speaks to our times — How to Sell When Nobody’s Buying).
800-CEO-READ was founded as the corporate sales division of the Harry W. Schwartz Bookshops in Milwaukee. The retail stores were closed March 31, but CEO-READ continues to operate. They run a monthly list of their top sellers and published The 100 Best Business Book of All Time this year.
