Hi Bobby! I’ve seen your review on “Becoming your Best” by Steven Shallenberger and I totally agree that highly successful leaders almost always read voraciously because reading hyper-accelerates learning.
We have a new book out called “Reinventing Scale-Ups: Radical Ideas for Growing Companies”.
In Reinventing Scale-Ups, Susan, Travis and I invite readers to explore radical ideas that challenge thinking about what it means to lead. We profile outlier and progressive organizations around the world whose leaders have chosen to break from tradition, finding new and unique ways of scaling-up.
Here’s the link to our book on Amazon where you can see what other readers are saying:

I’d love to send a free copy of the book in return for an honest review. As soon as you let me know which format you prefer (print, PDF, ebook, Kindle), I’ll send a copy to you.

Hi Brent,
My apologies for my delayed reply; I just returned from traveling overseas. I would love to check out a copy of the book. Please email me at bobby@businessbookreviewer.com and I will provide you my home address for sending a copy of the book. (I’m one of those old-school readers who only reads in print.)
Looking forward to hearing from you. Have a nice night.
Bobby
How do I submit a book review request for Bailing Out the Company Canoe: Become a Better Boss. Co-workers in the same high-tech start-up have have written a book advising the entrepreneurial senior managers how to become better managers.
Thank you

Hi Norma,

Hello,
My name is Keith Arnett with Reformation Productions. Our founder, B. Zachary Bennett has just released his first book, Married To Marketing, A RELATIONSHIP GUIDE TO BUSINESS, with Chantelar Publishing. Given your position in the blogging world, I thought it might be of interest to you and was hoping to get your thoughts on the book and write a review for your subscribers.
Married To Marketing is a business book that showcases the comparison between romantic relationships seen between couples and the business relationships that companies have with their customers. In the book, the company represents the groom and the customer is the bride. To create a successful marriage both parties have to be attracted to each other. Both have to serve each other. To keep your spouse in the marriage you have to meet their needs and know them better than anyone else. It’s a commitment, a process, and a journey… just like business.
Mr. Bennett is a marketing personality, an author, keynote speaker, and marketing executive. His 20+ years of experience in business communications has given him a heart of service for the business community while still maintaining his direct, no-nonsense approach.
I hope you find value in the book and I’d love to know your thoughts on the content and Mr. Bennett’s approach. Once you’ve had a chance to read it, feel free to email me at karnett@reformationpro.com with your thoughts or visit bzacharybennett.com/reviews.
Hi Keith,
I’m not interested in receiving a copy at this time, but I wish you and Mr. Bennett the absolute best with the book. Thanks for reaching out and I hope you have a great week.

Wow Bobby, I’m blown away by your comprehensive, insightful review of Amy’s Book, “Fearless Organizations. Such substance! I just discovered your site.
Very excited about receiving your newsletter. Bonnie Burn
I’m so glad to hear that! Thanks Bonnie. 🙂 I hope you enjoy the newsletter, and please keep in touch!
Hello Bobby, I tried to send a message to your email listed in other messages, bobby@businessbookreviewer.com, but it bounced back. I imagine you have a new one, or I could paste and resend the message through this channel if you prefer. I’d love to hear back from you if you have a chance. All the best, Peter Darcy
Hi Peter! I’m sorry about that. I recently updated my email address, and I didn’t realize I hadn’t updated that link. My new email address is bobby@bobbypowers.com. I’ll keep an eye out for your message, and thanks for alerting me to that!
Hello Bobby. I recently published my book on organizational change management (OCM). It’s The Book of Change and is available on Amazon. It is the result of my doctoral thesis work at a tier-one research university and my experience as a business performance consultant. I am hoping you can help me out with advice on submitting my book for review. I would be happy to provide you a copy if you are interested.

Hi Booby,
Been following your blog for a while and recently published my own book. Would I be able to send The Buyer-Centric Operating System to you for review?

Thanks!
Hi Andy! Thanks so much for thinking of me. These days, I’m only accepting book submissions for topics in a narrow content area of what I’m trying to learn at the moment, and that’s not in my sweet spot right now so I’ll have to pass. But I wish you all the best with your book and I hope your launch goes swimmingly! 🙂
