I found out about the list from a blog post by Josiane Feigon at Cubicle Chronicles. She laments, "Why is it that anytime someone assembles a list of the best sales books that Zig, Tom, Og, Jeffrey, Dale and Brian have to be on that list?". You can read further about her likes and dislikes.
I like that she pointed me to the list.
