800-CEO-READ is the go-to place for businesspeople at all levels to find suggestions for books that they should be reading now. Founder Jack Covert established an eponymous annual award for those who have made a significant contribution to the business book industry, publishers, agents, etc. Tom is thrilled to have been honored with the 2017 Award—he’s the first author to receive it—which he will be given at the 800-CEO-READ Business Book Awards on January 18, 2018, in New York City. Jack notes in the press release about the choice, “When you look at authors who established ‘business books’ as a significant genre within publishing, Tom Peters is the stand out. Tom’s first book took business books from the dusty part of the bookstore to the window. It showed the industry that a well written, intelligent business book can sell, and it’s never stopped selling. Tom’s contribution to the genre has lasted well over three decades.” Read more here.
