Business Books Quotes

The business of books is the business of life Picture Quote #1

I am not in the business of suppressing books Picture Quote #1

The genre of narrative business books that I love so much - the ones that have a you-are-there quality - was invented, or so it is said, in 1982 by David McClintick, who wrote ‘Indecent Exposure,’ a rollicking good read about a Hollywood scandal and the ultimate boardroom power struggle at Columbia Pictures Picture Quote #1

Never buy hardcover books. They are designed to sell to those who don’t actually read. Along with books, many other things can be read: natural scenery, love, officialdom, businessÃ‚Â¡ Picture Quote #1

I never have time to cook, so I just look through the books and imagine the dishes I would make if I wasn’t going out for a business dinner Picture Quote #1

Publishers are in business to make money, and if your books do well they don’t care if you are male, female, or an elephant Picture Quote #1

Books should, not Business, entertain the Light; And Sleep, as undisturb’d as Death, the Night Picture Quote #1

Writing blurbs for books means you have to read the book, and it cuts into the business of bookselling. So every time I get a blurb from a bookseller, I try to write a thank you note Picture Quote #1

McSweeney’s as a publishing company is built on a business model that only works when we sell physical books. So we try to put a lot of effort into the design and production of the book-as-object Picture Quote #1

There are several books that I have-the Physics of Star Trek, Star Trek and Business, there are manuals on command style and countless scholarly papers that have been written about the significance of Next Generation Picture Quote #1

I’ve drunk Amazon’s free Diet Coke. Nothing makes more sense to me than a company trying to make bookselling into a profitable business. I’m not anti-Amazon, and I’m not pro-publishers either. I’m pro-books Picture Quote #1

My parents were in the book business, my brothers still run the Dutton bookstores in Los Angeles, and I’ve been interested in editing books and journals all of my life Picture Quote #1

Books are so cheap and easy to get that people don’t bother stealing them, which is the essential rule of piracy that the music business learned much too late Picture Quote #1

As authors, we all have to learn not to be reactive to public statements about our books. It’s really not our business what each reader thinks of them Picture Quote #1

There’s a lot of books out there about how you lead change in business, but I’ve certainly not seen any... on how you do that in public institutions Picture Quote #1

Businesses make decisions based on what they are seeing in their order books Picture Quote #1

I think when companies are struggling, they don’t want to talk to the press. The guys who write business books aren’t interested in it because nobody wants to learn what it’s like to be a mess, you want to learn how to be successful. That’s slanted the whole thing quite a bit Picture Quote #1

Some people read business books looking for confirmation. I read them in search of disquiet. Confirmation is cheap, easy and ineffective. Restlessness and the scientific method, on the other hand, create a culture of testing and inquiry that can’t help but push you forward Picture Quote #1

Thomas Friedman’s ‘The World is Flat’ sold more copies in India than in the U.K. The market for go-getting business books or wonkish tomes by corporate moguls posing as philosopher kings has grown dramatically in modernising China and India Picture Quote #1

I don’t really read ‘business books,’ and I didn’t think ‘The Paradox of Choice’ was a business book. I’m very surprised and gratified that the business world thought it was one Picture Quote #1

Like any small business owner, I experienced the pressures of building a company from the ground up - developing a business plan, balancing the books, meeting payroll and building a customer base Picture Quote #1

In books there’s nothing of the fish covered in the coldness of the sea, or the feeling of a star touching space. Bad for business Picture Quote #1

Writing is a intensely personal activity. I can pen down my best thoughts when I’m alone. But when one is elevated into the stature of an author, you have to think about your books in terms of their business angle Picture Quote #1

Read any of the top-selling business books, all of them talk about moving away from a top down manner of leading to a more inclusive one. It’s not happening over night, but if you read the winds of change in most of the democracies in the world we are moving toward shared levels of power Picture Quote #1

I like to read first thing in the morning. I’m addicted to the Kindle. I read a lot of business books, because I feel like I should figure out how to be a real businessman before someone figures out that I’m not one. I really enjoy reading classics as well, which I try to work in once every two months Picture Quote #1

I’m not big on reading business books. I get copies of all of them, because people want me to put a comment on the jacket. Every once in a while, I’ll get interested and read one all the way through Picture Quote #1

I don’t read many business books. I read good fiction. Business is about people, so my favorite business books are anything by Dickens Picture Quote #1

It’s embarrassing to be involved in the same business as the mainstream comic thing. It’s still very embarrassing to tell other adults that I draw comic books - their instant, preconceived notions of what that means Picture Quote #1

All our institutions rest upon business. Without it we should not have schools, colleges, churches, parks, playgrounds, pavements, books, libraries, art, music, or anything else that we value Picture Quote #1

Arguably, in business books, I don’t think there’s much that has never been said before Picture Quote #1
