A great book full of useful ideas

Alan always includes a lot of helpful ideas and strategies and provides new ways to look at the industry. There will be some overlap if you've read his other books, but there was still plenty enough new information to keep it fresh. Yes, he's brusk and direct, but I don't think it negates all that he's said here. I would recommend this book and plan on reading it again myself.
