Title: Direct from Dell: Strategies that Revolutionized an Industry Publisher: HarperBusiness Authors: Michael Dell, Catherine Fredman Rating: 4/5  When the author of a work is also the founder of the Company that he is writing about then you expect to receive a glossed over version of events. I have read dozens of books on Computer Companies, I am really interested in how they got started, from Thomas Watson Jr to Ken Olsen and Andy Grove. All of them have given a santised version of events, but they all have admitted that they did receive some luck to help them on their way. Not our Mr Dell, there is nothing that has happened to his company that he didn't plan or anticipate. I read this and I truelly struggled to get anything from it at all, it is a dire piece of work. The story is sanitised to such a degree that the finished work is made to be useless. This is why I am writing this review because I wish to warn people away from wasting precious time reading this sermon. The book has two redeaming features, one is that all the proceeds go to a childrens charity, so save your time and just donate the money and secondly, with the hardback version anyway, the paper looks to be obsorbent.
