New Feature: Book Reviews on Del.icio.us
Book Review by Porchlight
We pay attention to what many people are writing about business books. Sometimes those articles and blog posts become the basis for a blog post here. Often, those reviews pass into the night—a missed opportunity to inform you of what we are seeing.

Excerpt from Flower Confidential
Book Review by Porchlight
There's a new entry up on our Excerpts blog. It's a chapter taken from Flower Confidential: The Good, The Bad, and the Beautiful in the Business of Flowers by Amy Stewart. Flower Confidential takes us inside the flower trade and reveals what has been gained (and lost) by the new varieties and unusual breeds created in labs, and, of course, the worldwide market for flowers.

Fast Company stuck on Made to Stick
Book Review by Porchlight
The February issue of Fast Company magazine is calling Made to Stick a candidate for this year's Freakonomics. It also mentions Dreaming in Code by Scott Rosenberg and Flower Confidential by Amy Stewart. That reminds me, have I mentioned lately that Dan Heath and Chip Heath (authors of Made to Stick) will be in Milwaukee on February 6?
