Squeezed Books Contest

I'd like to announce a modest contest on the Squeezed Books web site: the person who contributes the most to existing or new summaries wins a free business book + shipping, from Amazon, courtesy of Squeezed Books.

Yeah, I know that it doesn't really compare with the millions that big companies can give away, but I thought it would be a nice way to reward people who work on the site. If it works out well, we'll repeat it every month.

So, if you're the kind of person who already takes notes when you read a book, or you've read a lot of business books and can distill their key points, this might be a good opportunity to take a chance at a free book, and share your knowledge with others (summaries, unless otherwise noted, are under a Creative Commons license).

Questions and comments welcome: it's an experiment, so ideas on how to improve it are welcome too.
