  2. Thanks for responding Shel It truly was the most important business book of this year – which I discovered after seeing how little came out this year.
    I wonder how many of the other authors on this list are paying attention like you are.

  3. Well, this is a very good list. Mine would include Convergence Culture by Henry Jenkins. Thanks for keeping our collective nose to the page, Mitch (what a great excuse to read actual PRINT)!
