The HP Way: How Bill Hewlett and I Built Our Company (O/T) Message #1 Posted by james summers on 28 July 2006, 8:59 a.m. Apologies for a question that's probably already been discussed and that I missed, but is 'The HP Way: How Bill Hewlett and I Built Our Company' by David Packard a good read? Any other recommendations (I've nearly finished working through all the space program books that were recommended in a posting here a couple of years ago.) If so I shall add it to my next purchase of books. Best wishes

I picked up a copy cheap from a library used-book clearance sale. The HP-35 is briefly mentioned, but not the HP-41C or any other of the calculator line in existence at the time. There are a few "nuggets" here and there, but I found the book rather superficial. -- KS Edited: 29 July 2006, 1:40 a.m.

When I had a look on Amazon there was a review which said it was very dry. Best James
