Sinossi

Post-it Notes Stick explores the fascinating journey of the Post-it Note, an invention arising from a "failed" adhesive. The book examines how 3M's corporate culture, particularly its "15% time" for independent projects, fostered innovation. It also reveals the pivotal role of marketing in creating a need for the product, transforming it into a global office staple. 

 
The book explains how a low-tack adhesive initially deemed useless, combined with persistent marketing, led to a ubiquitous product. The book meticulously details the science behind the adhesive, the internal struggles to champion the product, and the marketing strategies that propelled Post-it Notes to success. Readers gain insights into how a supportive corporate environment and individual ingenuity converged.

 
The narrative unfolds chronologically, starting with the invention of the unique adhesive, its accidental discovery as a bookmark solution, and finally, its lasting impact on communication and organization across various sectors. Post-it Notes Stick offers a valuable perspective on how corporate culture and serendipity, can lead to a globally successful product. By examining internal 3M documents and marketing materials, the book presents a unique case study in business history and technology.

 
This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of technology, business, and the remarkable stories behind everyday innovations.

Memoirs of a Watch Salesman - A...

Joseph Aquino

Before Joseph Aquino brokered multimillion-dollar commercial real estate deals for luxury brands and iconic landlords, he was out on the streets in the gritty 1970s-first selling stacks of housewares on Manhattan's busy corners, then going door to door with watches across all five boroughs. 
In this raw, no-holds-barred memoir, Aquino peels back the curtain on five decades of relentless hustle. From managing health clubs during the go-go '80s, to partnering with Faith Consolo-The Queen of Retail- and riding the rise of the luxury retail boom while closing landmark deals on Madison Avenue, Fifth Avenue, SoHo, and Beverly Hills, this is the story behind the deals. 
He's reached the top. He's crashed to the bottom- going head-to-head with one of the industry's most powerful figures. And he came back swinging. 
A must-read for every broker, landlord, retailer, and entrepreneur who knows what it means to fight for every inch.
