Bacal's Books
Not everyone wants to wade through dry, tough to read books on management, leadership and business. That's why we've included a directory of Complete Idiot's Guides that may interest people looking for lighter treatment of business topics.
Complete Idiot's Guides are very practical, hands on books written for people who want an easy read, but a lot of real world information on various topics. The writing style for these books is best described as light-hearted, touched with humor but useful none they less. If these books seem similar from title to title, it's because they all follow a specific format and style specified by the publisher. And that's neat because if you've read one, you pretty know what to expect in terms of style and format.
Note that many business, management and leadership related Idiot's Guide books go out of print frequently, so you may have to purchase from secondary vendors, but the good news is that often the price is lower.
