Alan Landers,

Vice President, Centex Home Equity Corporation “To be well informed, one must read quickly a great number of merely instructive books. To be cultivated, one must read slowly and with a lingering appreciation the comparatively few books that have been written by men who lived, thought, and felt with style.”
Aldous Huxley, writer, not a getAbstract subscriber

At getAbstract,a world-class editorial team writes our summaries. First, to ensure accurate, smart and stylish content, we employ scores of experienced business journalists, whose work is also published in The New York Times, Fortune, Financial Times, BusinessWeek and in other leading publications in the U.S. and Europe. Next, a team of in-house editors refines each manuscript four times. Then we lay it out in our clean and crisp format. Finally, the publisher or the book’s author proof-reads the summary to ensure the highest quality.

No matter which subscription plan you choose (Gold or Silver), there’s one sweet feature that all plans include: the Personalized Summary Service. Once a week, we e-mail you one summary of a business book that is relevant to your job or areas of personal interest. From a choice of over 100 business topics, you indicate the themes that interest you. Each week we pick the best summary from the topics you selected and send it to you by e-mail, so you’ll never miss a trend. This is on top of the unlimited download privileges you get with our most popular Gold Subscription.
