    Hello everyone,

    I recently published, in limited edition, a book entitled "Spointra and
    the Secret of Business Success." It is a new kind of book that brings
    together three traditional formats: business book, graphic novel, and
    coffee table book. Accordingly, the finished product is a 56-page
    high-quality hardcover printed on thick, glossy paper (each book comes in
    a plastic wrap for protection). More information is available at
    www.spointra.com. However, for your convenience, the complete book
    description is also copied below.

    As part of the promotional campaign, I would like to offer a free copy of
    the book to 10 members of the Business Policy & Strategy (BPS) list, who
    reside in the United States (the book is currently sold only in the United
    States; $25.95 + $5 shipping & handling at www.spointra.com). All I ask in
    return is a brief book review (~ 200 words). If you are interested, please
    send me an email at cmitreanu@redefiningstrategy.com, including name,
    position, organization, mailing address, and some pointers (hyperlinks) to
    your online presence (website, blog, articles, papers, etc.).

    Your email should get to me by the end of the day on Wednesday (April 11).
    The books will be shipped on Thursday (April 12), when I will contact only
    10 individuals, providing them with the USPS track & confirmation number.
    Therefore, I would like to thank all of you, in advance. Thank you for
    your interest!

    Cristian

    Book Description:
    An innovative blend of business book, graphic novel, and coffee table
    book, "Spointra and the Secret of Business Success" is a response to the
    increasing evidence that individual success is strongly dependent upon
    one's understanding of business in general, regardless of her or his
    primary occupation. Accessible to most readers with or without business
    knowledge, this quality hardcover presents in an entertaining manner a
    fundamental theory of business that the author, Cristian Mitreanu, first
    revealed at BizBigPic (www.bizbigpic.com) in August 2006. In brief, the
    plotline follows Spointra, a member of an advanced civilization, teaching
    C, a kid eager to become a successful business leader, the secret of
    business success. Spointra's teachings begin with a unique view of human
    nature and gradually progress to a general concept of enduring success in
    business. Using a balanced combination of text and artwork, enhanced by a
    minimalist style, the story fits into 56 pages. This conciseness and focus
    on communicating the bare mechanics of business, escaping the traditional
    reliance on business cases, is enabled by the fundamental character of the
    theory, and allows for a fast reading. More important though, it
    stimulates independent critical thinking and invites repeat readings that
    will reveal the secret of business success layer by layer.
