American Express Company Partners With Rand Media Company

July 2, 2012 - PRLog -- The initial offer will be made to members of   American Express' SkyGuide Executive Privilege Club.

Jim Randel, founder of The Skinny On books noted:  "Who would not be excited about partnering with American Express? I have worked hard to get visibility for our different approach to conveying information, and as with anything new, that is hard.  But, American Express saw value in our series from the very beginning.  I am very grateful for their acceptance and approval." http://www.skyguideclub.com/?Obj=Shopping&Clear=Yes  

The Skinny On books http://www.theskinnyon.com/ offer people an alternative to the long-form, traditional non-fiction text.  These books, in story form and visual, are intended to convey important ideas in a concise, entertaining, and quick read.

Rand Media’s Street Smarts: Beyond the Diploma was recently honored as “Book of the Year” for the student demographic by the Institute of Financial Literary.  This award was made April 20 at the Annual Convention in Orlando, Florida.

Rand Media has also announced that Street Smarts was selected by the U.S. Marine Corps Scholarship Fund to be given to all of its recipients (1,900 students).  Author, Jim Randel, will be speaking at Camp LeJeune in Cherry Point, North Carolina on July 26th.  He will speak to “Getting from Point A to Point B in the Business World.”

Rand has licensed its book series to several overseas publishers, and The Skinny On books are best sellers in China, having sold out the first printing in a few months.
