• Book with constraints...
  After reading most books of the TOC series from Goldratt, it was time to convert knowledge into wisdom. The content of this book and the way the teaching was done didn't grab me though.
  Because the previous books (The Goal, It's not Luck, etc.) were written like novels, this book seems a bit like that math addendum you may have gotten at school. First size you up with compelling stories and then throw some cold-hearted sums in your face. However, if you want to learn more about TOC and how to apply it... more info

• The Race-book purchase
  2 parts-First, the book was in perfect condition, arrived before the promised time, and cost less than the cover asks. I don't think it gets any better, unless they sent a Lay-Z-Boy chair to read it in!
  Second, this book should be required reading for everyone in business that is team leader/supervisor level and above. Fortunately, since it isn't, those of us who have read it have a significant professional advantage over those who don't.

• Great Minds
  Bob Fox doesn't get enough credit here. He and Eli should get together for another.

• Perfect for Introduction to TOC and Presentation Help
  This is basically the "powerpoint" version of TOC. It is not a how-to guide or a novel like most TOC material. I would recommend buying one copy for any group starting a TOC implementation or needing to present TOC concepts (great slide ideas). It doesn't deserve a place on everyone's desk like some of the other TOC books, but has value for those who have read or seen The Goal and now need to participate in an implementation.
