Best Business Books of 2009

As selected by the readers of Small Business Trends.


Link to December 28 Open Forum post, "10 Books You Should Read, Say Entrepreneurs and Business Owners".

Excerpt:
To be eligible, books had to be (1) relevant to small business personnel; and (2) newly released during 2009. That excluded older business classics, no matter how good they are! It also excluded books that focus primarily on “big business,” economics or Wall Street/investing – as those topics would not be as much practical help to the entrepreneur faced with starting or operating a small business.
