Summary: The Partnership Charter: More Relevant Than You Know
Review: I was surprised at how easy this book was to read. The subject matter could have become dry, but David Gage provides so many interesting examples that I was curious to continue reading. Half way through the book, I was also struck by how this is more than just about how to form a business partnership. There is some good advice here on all kinds of partnerships, including marriage and any other endeavor that requires you to work with different personalities. I'd recommend to anyone that was thinking about starting a business with another person, something that often involves a heavy time and/or financial commitement, to take the time to read this short book. I found the example Charter in the back especially useful.

Summary: Help for the journey
Review: Reading this book is one of the best ways that I can imagine to start or fine tune a partnership. Its concise and well written yet comprehensively covers the issues partners need to address before they become problems. The examples and anecdotes are incisive and reflect practical experience in fixing the disasters Dr. Gage would like us to avoid. Follow the directions in this book and avoid the bad accidents.
