I’m trying to be helpful and listing some good Business Biography & Company History books (plus some fiction you can’t put down) recommended by others, sort them into categories and link to them. 🙂

Inspired by Packy McCormick’s tweet. Call for book recs in two categories:
1. Business Biography/Company History
2. Fiction You Can’t Put Down
