Before you buy, read what they say about Amazon.com
I used the feature of searching and reading to check it out right here, online. I searched for their write-up of amazon.com. And it's there, on page 60.

Read those pages first. If you think the authors give an intelligent and insightful perspective on Amazon's role in the internet bubble, then by all means buy and read the book.

Good look at what went wrong during the Internet bubble
Buy, Lie, and Sell High provides an interesting look at the Internet bubble and what caused it.

It was a perfect storm of greedy people with little to no business experience, combined with unethical accounting firms, loose federal regulators, new technologies, and a hungry public looking to make a quick dollar.

While the book has ?Enron? in the title, there is not a whole lot about Enron in the book, perhaps 10 pages.

The book has a number of case studies of classic dot bombs. I am surprised that with all of the case studies, Mills did not discuss one of the biggest bombs, Value America.

Overall, the book provides a good look at what went wrong and how it can be prevented from happening again.
