Launching The Countdown Book Club

Filed under: 100 Best,The Company — Todd Sattersten @ 11:55 am

Our communication has been sporadic on the book project. Kate, our air traffic controller, is imploring us to get with it and start telling you what we have been up to. She’s right and there is a lot that has happened.
The book has a name:
The 100 Best Business Books of All Time: What They Say, Why They Matter, and How They Can Help You

It has a beautiful cover:


The words have been written and most have survived the first round of edits. We are now in the polishing stage known as copyediting.
While we found ways to personally celebrate the completion of the manuscript with our families and the 800-CEO-READ team, we now want to share our growing excitement about the book with you.
The title is a bit of a giveaway, but our book is about business books. So we decided the best way to celebrate is to give you a sneak peak of some of the books we’ve included in The 100 Best.
We invite you to join The Countdown Book Club: Six Months To The 100 Best Business Books of All Time.
You’ll receive six books. The first book will be sent to you in September. We’ll send you five books, one a month, through January. And then in February, you’ll receive your copy of The 100 Best Business Books of All Time.
The cost is $99, which includes the six books and all the stamps to get them to you.
Now, we won’t tell you which books we will send to you, but we promise you that they are more than worth your time and dollar.

    Hey Mike,
    Good question. For international orders, it’ll be $30 for shipping. So $129 total.
    Cheers, thanks.

    Hi Guys
    if you don’t tell us what the books are in advance and we already have them it is certainly not going to be worth my time or my dollar if I already have them/have read them…
    why won’t you tell us?

    Hi Alan,
    To answer your question…For us, the element of surprise is part of the package. So while I won’t give away the book names, I will tell you that the likelihood of someone owning these titles is quite slim. A hint, Good to Great, a common business title, isn’t in this club. In choosing the titles, we considered the likelihood of people having had read the book, their applicability and, of course, whether they’re a good read.
    Hope that helps in your decision! Any other questions, shoot them my way. Happy to help.
    Cheers,
    Kate
