Many entries give addresses or telephone numbers of federal and state regulatory agencies. Others give step-by-step tips, such as "Time Management Techniques." Maps of 26 major metropolitan areas are provided for the corporate traveler. Among the unique listings are companies that can provide Japanese-English business cards, contacts for the Federal Laboratory Consortium, average warehouse rates in major cities, Packaging Award winners, and top infomercial companies.
The last section of the book, "Reference," includes a glossary of business terms, telephone numbers of large public libraries (with the suggestion to call the Honolulu Public Library for after-hours research), industry newsletters, and media contacts. There are indexes of companies mentioned on lists, of reference sources, and of the 450 topics. Unfortunately, there is no true subject index, so a lot of browsing will need to be done to use this book effectively.
Priced under $30--and including more than $100 in coupons for discounts on business products and services--this book will be very useful as a desk reference for the corporate manager. (One of the coupons is for a free update of the book to be published in January.) But public and academic libraries should consider a copy, too, because of the way facts from a wide variety of sources are pulled together. Librarians in large business collections could find most of this information, but even with the skimpy indexing, this book has some ready-reference value.
