Needs a better index, July 12, 2005 Reviewer: A Reader (St. Peters, MO United States) - See all my reviews This book is similar to the Ultimate Business Library, the latest edition of which summarizes less books (75 in the latest edition rather than 100), but is longer. The Ultimate Business Library also has a better index. This book's index is only an author index, which is necessary because the summaries are arranged alphabetically by book title rather than by author. The Ultimate Business Library, on the other hand, arranges them alphabetically by author. Personally, I would prefer them to be arranged chronologically. This book also does not show the publication year of the books in the table of contents. So, it is difficult to read them in chronological order. The Ultimate Business Library wins out in this respect as well. I still like The Best Business Books Ever, but I wish I had bought the Ultimate Business Library instead.
BBBe provides a two-page summary of the hundred most influential business books. The mix is eclectic, including modern authors, such as Peter Senge and Peter Drucker, as well as historical writers, such as Sun Tzu, Carl von Clausewitz and John Stuart Mill.

The Development of Modern Advertising. Edited and introduced by Morgen Witzel[edit]
8 Volumes
Advertising developments during the period 1870–1920. It includes works on the theory and practice of advertising by pioneers in the field such as Paul Cherington, Herbert Casson, Arch W. Shaw and Walter Dill Scott, as well as lesser-known but important figures including Harry Tipper, Thomas Russell and Frank Parsons. Volumes 7 and 8 contain a collection of essays and journal articles on the question whether advertising was a corrupting force, both economically and morally, with contributions by Samuel Courtauld, Lewis Haney, Charles Higham and G.D.H. Cole. Sampson's classic History of Advertising is included as a measure of where and how the field had developed prior to the modern period. As with earlier sets in this series, the works reproduced here show how an increasing understanding of consumer needs and responses informed advertising practices and led to the adoption of new methods and new media.
