Let me preface this by saying it's in the SS-CD department (shameless self-congratulation department). But I'm reprinting these nice reviews for a reason: both make the point that my book is readable. (From another reader: I got so engrossed I nearly missed my meeting.)

I really did write the book for the reluctant manager who doesn't want to be dragged into this blogging thing and who wants to be entertained a bit, as well as informed. If it's not you, it's a colleague or your boss, right?!

The Sept. 20th, 2006 teleconference for The Corporate Blogging Book was a lot of fun. There were nine participants, each of whom purchased five copies of my new book from 800-CEO-Read.

One caller, Cathy Chatfield-Taylor, was energetic enough to take really good notes. Inspired by her efforts, I added a few things (and corrected a few things). Then the 10 of us agreed to offer anyone who's interested the summary transcript as a PDF download.

I know I haven't covered every wrinkle. But in the spirit of instant publishing... oh, and chapter 5 in my new book is titled "Should the CEO Blog?"
