I have a confession. I’m having a great time dipping into Tom Peters’ new book, The Little BIG Things: 163 Ways to Pursue Excellence. Neat concept. A book built, more or less, out of Tom’s blog posts (edited and re-organized).

Glad you asked. This is my first bold step into Publishing 2.0. As the publisher of this new e-book edition I’ve had a blast commissioning a new cover as well as working with e-book guru Joshua Tallent who formatted the manuscript for Kindle.
