Bob Andelman NOW IN TURKISH: The Profit Zone (05/15/03)

"The Profit Zone" is Bob's best-selling book, written in support of Adrian Slywotzky. More than 100,000 hardcover copies in print after 10 printings!

We recently received a copy of the Turkish edition of the book, published by Sistem Yayincilik.

After five years in hardcover, Three Rivers Press published the paperback edition on February 26, 2002. The slightly redesigned cover includes a review blurb from BusinessWeek's John Byrne: "Rarely -- if ever -- have any observers so skillfully dissected these executives' strategies to create lessons that can be taught to anybody ... The Profit Zone provides insights and lessons aplenty." Byrne's name may be familiar; he co-wrote Jack Welch's new book and also authored "Chainsaw," the scathing biography of Albert J. Dunlap. Small world: Bob co-wrote Dunlap's book, "Mean Business."

You can read an excerpt from The Profit Zone here.

You can order the paperback edition of The Profit Zone here.

Worldwide, The Profit Zone has been translated Chinese (Complex and Simplified), Dutch, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish.

Bob translated each edition personally -- in long-hand, on brittle parchment paper.
