J. R. Simplot: A Billion the Hard Way

Shipped quickly. Book was in condition as advertised

More of a history than a how to. Still interesting with nuggets of wisdom and techniques to be had.

Book was delivered on time and was in excellent condition... My husband is enjoying reading this book.

Prior to purchasing this book, I didn't know who J. R. Simplot was. The book starts slowly by describing Mr. Simplot's family background. By the second chapter, however, it was difficult to put the book down. This book is about a young man who turned hard work and twenty dollars into a business worth billions. Oh, did I mention some luck was also needed? Millions of Americans, including myself, have eaten at a McDonalds Restaurant. Little did I know, my french fries were probably a product of Mr. Simplot's mega-business. Today, when I purchase a potato product, Mr. Simplot will often come to mind.

this guy is brilliant, read this book in one day. worth reading
