Inspiration at its best........2000-08-21

This book gives us insight into the life of a man who had it all, then lost it in an accident that left him in a condition that could almost be considered a fate worse than death. With incredible strength of purpose he slowly brought himself to the position of one of the world's leading wheelchair athletes, a respected speaker and a happy, whole person. The story of the journey is told with open-hearted candor. He shares the pain and humilation he experienced as well the glory he has achieved. If you want to be uplifted; if you want to be inspired to wake up every morning with the determination to be the best that you can be, then read this book! If Kevin did what he did, then you can, for sure, do what you need and want to do!

Intriguing read about the USA's best paraplegic athlete........1999-05-11

Kevin Saunders' is arguably the greatest paraplegic athlete. The winner of two bronze medals in the past Olympics, Saunders' story -- beginning with the horrific grain elevator explosion that snapped his spine -- through his triumphant sprint to the finish line is a pretty good read. Saunders is no paper hero: he screws up along the way and occasionally gets involved in a laugh-out-loud funny situation. But the main thrust is the motivational message -- you CAN do this. And there's ALWAYS a way. A good afternoon read for teen-agers or adults.

Book Description

Best known as one of the most important playwrights of the twentieth century, Harold Pinter has also written many highly regarded screenplays, including Academy Award-nominated screenplays for The French Lieutenant's Woman and Betrayal, collaborations with English director Joseph Losey, and an unproduced script for the remake of Stanley Kubrick's 1962 adaptation of Lolita.

In this definitive study of Pinter's screenplays, Steven H. Gale compares the scripts with their sources and the resulting films, analyzes their stages of development, and shows how Pinter creates unique works of art by extracting the essence from his source and rendering it in cinematic terms. Gale introduces each film, traces the events that led to the script's writing, examines critical reaction to the film, and provides an extensive bibliography, appendices, and an index.

Book Description

Music from Wonderful Town has been out of print for more than 40 years, so we are very proud to present this new edition of the brilliant musical comedy currently running in an acclaimed Broadway revival! The music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green tell the story of two sisters who move from Ohio to Greenwich Village. After many hardships of adjustment, they find New York to be a "Wonderful Town." The original run of the show opened in 1953 and starred Rosalind Russell, and the Broadway revival, which opened on November 23, 2003, stars Donna Murphy. The cast recording is being released by DRG Records. Our Vocal Score includes all of the music from the musical.

Wonderful Song Book!.......2004-04-16

I love the new recording of this musical, and was disappointed when it didn't come with printed lyrics to the songs. So I was very excited when I saw the new Wonderful Town songbook, which has almost all of the songs from the show, plus a synopsis. These songs are lovely reminders of the show, and would be great to sing in revues or talent shows, for I don't think Wonderful Town is a very well known show, which is a shame. I think it's one of Comden and Green's best. Songs like "Swing" and "Pass the Football" only get better when you see the lyrics in their full glory. My only wish is that they had included color stills of the show, but we can't have everything!

Good Lyrics, Bad Selection........2002-03-22

This complication of songs from Bells Are Ringing is truely a gem for those who enjoy Jule Styne's lyrics. Unfortunely, everything but right is mashed into this vocal book, which features mostly forgettable songs, which weren't the ones known to even the deepest fans. Only "Is It A Crime" and "Just In Time" were the favorable ones chosen in this one, and with all of the notes jammed all over the place, it's sometimes quite hard to conentrate on where you left off last.

Book Description

In this “radically conservative” book, the authors advocate a “back-to-basics” approach to marketing that replaces the relentless quest for differentiation with a relentless focus on these types of basic customer needs

The authors’ research shows that most companies have been ignoring the basics for too long.

At the heart of the authors’ approach is a view of why customers buy what they do. Barwise and Meehan argue that marketers must understand what customers want from the entire product or service category. So rather than focus on new luxury attributes for a specific car —marketers need to understand what basic needs customers have for automobiles in general (ie: safety, handling, etc). Once they figure that out—they need to deliver on those basic needs better than everyone else.

Master walking before taking up ballroom dancing..........2006-05-08

The cool, conventional wisdom says that to succeed in business these days means you have to innovate and think "outside the box". Patrick Barwise and Sean Meehan beg to differ in the book Simply Better: Winning and Keeping Customers by Delivering What Matters Most. Often it's just executing the basics better than everyone else...

Contents: Differentiation That Matters; How Customers Really See Your Brand; Identifying Generic Category Benefits; Challenges of Innovating to Drive the Market; Caution - Inside-the-Box Advertising Doesn't Work; Customer-Focused Mind-Set; How to Be Simply Better; Notes; Index; About the Authors

Many of today's business books offer programs and plans on how to deliver unique innovation, making your product unique from all others. But most consumers are looking for a blend of things when they buy a product, and your "unique selling proposition" may be something that doesn't even matter to them. The example of a fax machine being marketed as having the "smallest footprint" is one where the company thought it was great, and the consumer doesn't care. The alternative is to understand the generic category benefits that your product delivers, and then strive to deliver them better and more memorably than anyone else. Consistent, high-quality product and delivery matched with brand recognition means that when available, consumers will associate quality with your product and will take the path of least resistance when it comes to repeat purchases in that category. There are plenty of examples of this scattered throughout the book... Crest vs. Colgate, Proctor & Gamble, and Target vs. Wal-Mart, just to name a few. Simply Better presents the perfect counterpoint to creating chaos and disruption, thinking that you know better what the consumer wants and needs...

If you're failing at the basics, then innovation won't offer any panacea or escape. Simply Better will help you to figure out how to solidify your core market and deliver value by being better than everyone else at the things that do matter...

A business book for those who hate business books.......2005-09-01

Messrs Barwise and Meehan have really succeeded in creating a business book that you actually want to read. Their simple idea is explained, illustrated and elucidated with clarity and without the usual repetition and sycophancy which authors of business books use to puff out their oftern half-baked theories. Like all things good and simple, this book organises and articulates things that you should already know - read it with a marker pen and you will find yourself regularly stealing bits to help communicate and simplify ideas that corporate life has complicated beyond comprehension.

A less than average book on marketing.......2004-11-16

I do not agree at all with all the five star ratings that the book was given on this page. This book is a mediocre book at best with no sound theoretical or practical advice to anyone practicing marketing. What the authors basically say is this: differentiation is a fancy thing; you should first be aiming at providing the basics for the customer. Those who can provide all those basics, which they call something like 'overall category benefits' will arguably conquer the customers' hearts (and arguably wallets).

On the practical side, I am sure the writers did not see a lot of customers in their lives as suppliers of any merchandise. Provide the customers with all the category benefits, you will en up with the question: how much the price? Give it free to the customer with all the customer benefits, you will face the quetion: do you provide free delivery? This is not a way to approach marketing. This is advocating commoditization.

In reality, you should design your offering in such a way that your target segment will have nearly no choice but purchasing from you. And this is differentiation. The rest is an obvious British academic drive: publish something novel or perish. But the idea of providing TOTAL basic category benefits is not only an old idea but in today's market place a very dangerous one too. If you want to go bust, provide the customer with all they need and ask for and forget about profits and capital accumulation. God will love you.

I did not like the book at all. For those who may like to pursue this subject further, I reccommend the great work by Fred Crawford and Ryan Mathewsy called "The Myth of Excellence". What they say in this wonderful book is that you do NOT need to be very good in all aspects of so-called "category benefits". The authors base their work not on circumstantial evidence as in Simply Better, but some sound research and provide "conclusive evidence of the futility of trying to be excellent in all aspects of a commercial transaction-price, product, access, experience, and service. Instead, the strategy for your products and services should be to dominate on one element, differentiate on a second, and be at industry par (i.e., average) on the rest". And they go on saying that so long as you are number one on one particular 'category benefit', then it is perfectly okay to be average on others as long as your customers know specifically where and how you are superior and world-class.

So, good luck to you if you decide to pursue the advice given in Simply Better and simply prepare yourself for not so good financial outcomes for your company. Because trying to be the best on all category benefits means to be mediocre in your category.

Back to the basics........2004-11-05

There have been a lot of marketing books that tell you you need to have unique products, somekind of gimmick or whatever. This one is different. The theme of the two authors is that the old standby rules still work, and work better than the new gimmicks.

The authors talk of a study done by Shell Oil. What people want is to refuel at a reasonable cost; be sheltered from sun, wind, and rain; and pay and exit quickly. They expect the pumps, and the bathrooms to be clean and working. The customers are not looking for a great cappuccino. No body believes that the super additives being advertised as brand differentiation does anything that the additives that every one has in their gasoline.

I'm reminded of the Warren Buffett investment strategy, invest in companies you can understand, whose revenue and earnings are growing, and don't change too often.

I then like the way the authors say that for advertising, forget these rules. To be heard in today's market you need distinctive, out-of-the-box communications; inside-the-box standard advertising won't be heard.

A straightforward guide to what customers really want.......2004-10-06

Simply Better: Winning And Keeping Customers By DeliveringWhat Matters Most is the collaboration of Patrick Barwise (Professor of Management, London Business School) and Sean Meehan (Martin Hilti Professor of Marketing and Change Management at IMD, Lausanne, Switzerland). A straightforward guide to what customers really want, and how to attract and keep them - not with silly bells and whistles, or trivial differences between brands, but rather by offering the solid benefits of good service, on-time delivery, and quality products. Chapters address the challenges of striving for innovation, warn against the impracticality of "inside-the-box" advertisement, the importance of distinctive advertising (far more so than having a distinctive product!), and much more. A solid treatise, recommended especially for business managers and owners striving to improve the bottom line through higher quality and better customer reputation.
