Free (nook/Kindle) Boy Billionaire: Mark Zuckerberg [Business Leader Topical Quotes]

[ATDrake]

The Boy Billionaire: Mark Zuckerberg In His Own Words edited by George Beahm is a compilation of quotes by the titular Facebook founder, on the topics of life, the universe, and everything business, technology, philanthropy, personal stuff, etc. etc., sourced from various interviews and articles published over the years, in the In Their Own Words series of such, free courtesy of publisher Agate's B2 imprint.

This has previously been offered free in 2013 and again in 2014.

Currently free, probably just until the weekend @ B&N, Amazon (not available to Canadians), and directly @ the publisher's webcatalogue page (DRM-free PDF available worldwide).

ETA: now also offered @ iTunes (not available to Canadians) and possibly also Google Play for the US.

Unlikely to cross the pond at the retail stores, as apparently another publisher has the rights to these in the UK.

Description
The Boy Billionaire: Mark Zuckerberg In His Own Words is the first and only book to detail the visionary thoughts and opinions of Facebook's founder entirely through direct quotations from Zuckerberg himself. It is the most intimate and authoritative look at the man who is arguably the greatest success story of his generation.

Since founding Facebook in a Harvard dorm room in 2004, Mark Zuckerberg has reached unparalleled prominence in the technology and business worlds. But the youngest Time magazine Person of the Year since Charles Lindbergh in 1927 is just as famous for his personal life as he is for his business and tech acumen. The public's appetite for insight into Facebook and its founder seems nearly insatiable; curiosity abounds when it comes to Zuckerberg's personality and management style, especially since the portrait of the young CEO that fictional Hollywood portrayals and Wall Street whispers have painted is, at best, only a fraction of the truth.

Given Facebook's current $50 billion+ market capitalization and 1 billion worldwide users, there is clearly more to Zuckerberg than any oversimplified caricature could convey. His continued success makes him well-placed to follow in the footsteps of US tech gurus Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.

Like those two pioneering entrepreneurs, Zuckerberg has proven himself a calculating and sometimes ruthless strategist, with a steadfast commitment to his vision. Facebook exists somewhere between a social utility and a model of 21st-century business. It leads next-gen tech companies through an economic climate that, though still scarred by the dot-com bubble of the early 2000s, is increasingly driven by social media technology and the resulting global marketplace.

Facebook's potential is unknown, but the key to its success depends on Zuckerberg's own ideas and vision. This book serves up his most thought-provoking insights, as researched and chosen by George Beahm, the New York Times bestselling editor of I, Steve: Steve Jobs In His Own Words. The Boy Billionaire: Mark Zuckerberg In His Own Words provides unprecedented insight into Zuckerberg and the company he's created, highlighting business strategies and lessons learned. It is essential reading for those who seek innovative solutions for their business, regardless of size, and it makes an ideal gift or reference item for anyone interested in this young business icon.

Not B&N in the US.

All the Agate books were free @ B&N with a US-address account in the early morning. I have no idea what kind of glitch they ended up being subjected to, but perhaps it'll get fixed eventually.

Who knows, with B&N. Just wanted to save any B&N'rs some one-click grief.

Better to get it via Google, anyway, to avoid the B&N drm madness, IMO
