Founders at work

I really liked this book by Jessica Livingston.

Its full of inspiring stories. I particularly like the first hand comments that are generally lacking in many other similar books I have read.

I also liked the fact that its not just a collection of super-successful-cant-be-replicated stories of Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Apple. It covers a wider spectrum of companies, many of which happend in quite recent times, which makes it easier to relate to.
