According to David Pells, managing director of the PM World Library, “These book summaries are amazing! Very thorough and professionally prepared!  Readers can gain an understanding of the main points of a major book in less than an hour, versus the days needed to study a book from cover to cover.”

“While we still recommend that readers purchase important management books,” Pells adds, “who can afford the time or money to buy hundreds or even dozens of these books? And many of these are major books that we should all read sometime in our careers. We think this new resource is a big addition to the library.”
