5.0 out of 5 stars
Terrific story of an incredible bomb of a magazine
Christopher Byron is an excellent business writer, and in The Fanciest Dive he tells the HBS case study-worthy story of the $50 million failure of Time Inc's ill-fated TV-Cable Week. It is not to be missed, and 22 years later there are still ample lessons to be gleaned from the tale. Business readers will not be disappointed.
