Event description

Got a great marketing book on your shelf that you never got around to finish? Or maybe you want to recommend that fabulous inspirational book that helped turn your business around?

In this first meeting of what I hope will become a regular event, I would like everyone to bring books they want to recommend or show off. We'll do our round of intros and then let each biznik talk a little bit about the book they brought. We'll then choose a book for us all to read in a follow up meeting and then just stay around to chat some more.

We'll meet at upstairs in Third Place Books in Ravenna.

    Here's one more vote for bringing it back. I love books! I have a schedule conflict this time, but it's a one-time event.

    Great idea. I'll be at Marymoor, listening to Willie Nelson this time, so will keep an eye out for the next one. Thanks.

    Hey Eylon -

    Are we meeting upstairs in the bookstore itself or downstairs in the Pub?

    Upstairs in the bookstore cafe. For some reason it was impossible to list it in the biznik map as such but I wrote it down in the description... Thanks for the reminder!

    Everyone, thanks for participating. I had a great time, and learned a lot about some new interesting and inspiring books, and some I was curious about already. See you next month!

    I was surprised and pleased by the variety and depth of the books everyone brought. Great group (although of course a few more fabulous Bizniks would be ok too) and I'm psyched to get together again!

    Yes, it was well worth it to attend and I am very excited to explore the book for this month, as well as more of the others! You all brought a wealth of different perspectives and I can't wait to hear more.
