Book Reviews of Who Would Buy This? The Archie McPhee Story
Book Review: Hope Beyond Humor
Summary: 5 Stars
These are dark times for commerce. Some are even saying that capitalism is dead.
Yet here is a book that flies in the face of the gloom and doomers. This inspiring chronicle of the heroic-- yes, heroic -- efforts of the good folks at Archie McPhee offers more than humor. It offers hope.
Showing that there is an enduring place in the market for creativity, intelligence and hard work -- combined with a special gift for irony, of course! -- this book has it all: The hits, the flops, the trials and tribulations... A rare, true "behind the scenes" look at one of the best niche companies in the world.
Every page is a gem, but the introduction alone is worth the price of the whole book.
Who would buy this? Anyone who wants to laugh out loud, cheer for the underdog or be reassured that there is hope for the future.
