Why am I here?
- To discover more wonderful books
- Maybe someone, somewhere will discover a wonderful book, because I added it to this site.
- Because I promised Laurent to add a useful book about selling.
What do I enjoy reading?
- Contemporary English literature
- Stuff to do with the game we call the Software Business
What do I fear?
With all these wonderful books just a click away, my wallet is going to go on a crash diet while my head goes on a reading binge.

Hi Pascal ! Good of you to check in here. ;) I don't worry much about the wallet - I find that books are a relatively inexpensive habit to have, compared to many other things. And the value I receive from them is out of all proportion to their cost. -- lb
So what's the book on selling? I have one that I found, also. - JamesBullock
Can you recommend it ? --PascalVanCauwenberghe
With some restrictions, I can recommend HighProbabilitySelling. - jb
