Business Book Summaries®
Now accessible from EBSCOhost®, Business Book Summaries® (BBS) provides comprehensive, yet concise summaries for the best business books available. Using stringent criteria, only the top 1% of the more than 6,000 business books published each year in the United States is selected for inclusion in the database. Summaries and reviews are provided for more than 700 of the top business books from the last 20 years. Audio summaries are currently available from the BBR web site, and will eventually be available from the EBSCOhost platform as well.
