When I saw this thread "Business Adventures" was the first thing I thought of. I bought a copy when it appeared on one of Bill Gate's summer reading lists. It's a great book. The story of the Piggly Wiggly stock corner is great, as is the story of the creation of the Xerox machine. I think I lent my copy to a co-worker who I'm fairly certain never read it. They also never gave it back. Oh well. For anyone looking for a book in a similar vein I recommend "The Deltoid Pumpkin Seed" by John McPhee.
