Concise, readable essays.  -- Business Library Review (June 1998)

Offers lengthy, well-written essays about hundreds of companies, and, in the process, sheds light not only on the development of the company and its particular industry, but also on other circumstances that played a part in their evolution.  Highly recommended for public libraries, business school libraries, and large corporate libraries who would like to keep tabs on what can be learned from other companies' triumphs and mistakes.  -- RUSQ (December 1998, about vols. 20-21)

An invaluable tool for quick reference on company backgrounds.  A vital reference tool for any business collection.  Highly recommended for all academic and public libraries serving business information needs.   -- ARBA (American Reference Books Annual) 1999

One of the most frequently used sources in our library.  -- Judith M. Nixon, Professor of Library Science, Management & Economics Library, Purdue University.
