Review # 1 was written on 2008-12-10 00:00:00 Will Broome I read this earlier in the semester for my MBA independent study class on entrepreneurship. I knew Peterman was from Lexington, and I loved his catalogs--first read them when I was babysitting at someone's home--and enjoyed learning the background story. How his business grew, how he lost it and how he got it back. You'll want to go to Peterman's breakfast spot and see if you can catch him someday to hear some tales with your coffee.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-02-24 00:00:00 John McVay Interesting book about the rise and fall of the J. Peterman Company. Written as part biography, part philosphy, and part business book. Filled with interesting quotes and ideas. I the parts dealing with how they aquired the catalog items and the history of the company. The business aspects put me to sleep though.
