Don’t make A&P mad by J. E Davis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is almost an entirely excellent book. The story of how the grocery store chain, Winn-Dixie, came along is so very well laid out in great detail. Author and founder J.E. Davis is either an incredible writer, too, or one person did not get credit in the bonk for ghost writing.
That is one of the complaints. Way to many names are listed through out the book. The volume also suffers from J.E. Davis loving finances. Pages and pages of stock information and more financials. All of which should have been part of an appendix.
Otherwise a perfect blueprint of constructing a successful business is well written and explained. So many great stories are also included.
One of the best parts is the last few pages where J.E.’s philosophy is presented. Lots of motivational ideas to live by!
Bottom line: IF you can find this very rare book – Read it!
