Selling Online: How to Become a Successful E-Commerce Merchant 17 reviews
Jim Carroll, Rick Broadhead
Kaplan Business, 2001
Excellent Advice and Very Useful
Does this book need another great review ? Just in case you are swayed by the couple of bad reviews, I just thought I'd mention that this is by far the most useful book I've read on setting up an Internet Store. (and I've read a few !!) It's worth buying just for the section on selecting the right e-commerce software package. There is lots of other useful stuff in there too. Don't waste your time ...

Billion Dollar Lessons: What You Can Learn from the Most Inexcusable Business Failures of the Last ...22 reviews
Paul B. Carroll, Chunka Mui
Brilliance Audio on CD Unabridged Lib Ed, 2008
Clear, consise - excellent examples
This is how a business book should be written - well organized, stating the theory, providing relevant examples and a summary at the end of each chapter. I have begun distributing the book to my clients who are actively involved with or contemplating a merger - a must for anyone in that situation.

Forced Entries: The Downtown Diaries: 1971-197320 reviews
Jim Carroll
Penguin (Non-Classics), 1987
Great Poet and Writer
After seeing the movie "The Basketball Diaries," I decided to pick up the book. It was excellent. Then I read "Forced Entries." I admire Jim for writing without barriers. He sees humor in things you wouldn't think of. I couldn't put this book down. Because of those two books, he is now my favorite author/poet. His poetry is worth reading also. Everything he writes is a personal, touching, and ...

The Book of Nods 1 review
Jim Carroll
Puffin, 1986
A street punk poet.
Jim Carroll should win The Nobel Prize for christ's sakes. The Book of Nods definitely prooves that. Jim Carroll his a poet no one else could ever be, lets say he's a Ted Berrigan mixed with a Allen Ginsberg. Nods refer to him and his drug induced states which he wrote most of these in. This is a creative and largely intensive book! READ IT!

Ready, Set, Done: How to Innovate When Faster is the New Fast1 review
Jim Carroll
Oblio Press, 2007
If you love Tom Peters' work just like I do, this author will not disappoint you for a change!
'Ready, Set, Done: How to Innovate When Faster is the New Fast', by Jim Carroll;
'Change' & 'innovation' are seemingly two most commonly used (or abused?) buzz words in the corporate world, which, from my perspective, readily capture the essence of the challenges faced by all of us today.
The subject of 'change' - agility & flexibility in dealing with a world turned upside down - & ...

An unabridged audiobook production of Lewis Carroll's classic children's storybook

Highly recommended as a giftbook to ...

The Basketball Diaries95 reviews
Jim Carroll
Penguin (Non-Classics), 1987
BEETER & A LOT Different from da Fillm!!!
A story of growing up balling it in private-school, writing poetry, getting hooked on H, living down & out on the streets, you know, the usual riches-to-rags story.
The follow-up diary isn't as good as this one though I believe his poetry books are highly underrated. `Book of Dreams' is it? Carroll WAS a quite talented chap. I remember reading a poem by him once about Rimbaud visiting ...

Selling Online: How to Develop a Successful E-Commerce Business in Canada 1 review
Jim Carroll, Rick Broadhead
CDG Books Canada, 1999
No technical details, bias suggestions, too much text
I am disappointed about this book mainly because (1) there is no technical discussion about the setup of storefront and payment gateway (2) the authors recommend advertiser's services...kind of bias (3) it does not cover all the latest technologies, despite the fact that it's published in Sep 1999! (4) there is too much unnecessary text with repetitive info and most importantly (5) I still ...

Cover of Darkness: A Novel 1 review
Jim Carroll
Vital Issues Pr, 1991
know what you're getting
Just to let you know, this is not written by Jim Carroll the poet-writer of the basketball diaries. "Cover of Darkness" seems to be a different Jim Carroll entirely. I made the mistake of ordering this book thinking of the wrong Carroll. One star for the mix up.

Void of Course (Poets, Penguin)29 reviews
Jim Carroll
Penguin (Non-Classics), 1998
a true poet, for all his wounds
jim carroll possesses a poetic of the wounded and lost which seems unrivalled to me today by any other modern poet. it's not, as some critics claim, that kids read his work because "he's the kid from the basketball diaries", or "he's done a lot of drugs". the attraction of people, whatever age or place in life, to carroll's poems and music seems a sign of enlightenment to me: a man writes about ...
