Summary: You will not start your business after reading this.
Review: The book is entertaining but you might not know what business to start at the end of the book any better. It is certainly not a "how to" book, rather a collection of often interesting stories of big (Borders books) and small companies with prior existence going into the Internet market. I enjoyed reading it and at least it is not yet dated (give it a few more weeks though).
