Our bookshelf is pretty extensive. We are knowledge workers. And although we strongly suggest to corporations to go for the interactive annual report, completely in digital form. We, on the other hand still believe books have the place in our professional lives. We also like to review books that we read. Here is the list, categorized, some review links included.
