If you only want to read one book about entrepreneurship, my personal view is that "The Art of the Start: The Time-Tested, Battle-Hardened Guide for Anyone Starting Anything" written by Guy Kawasaki is the ONE.
You can read most part online from Google Book at http://books.google.com/books?id=-gXlwJnnNoEC&lpg=PP1&dq=label%3A%22entrepreneurship%22&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q=&f=false
100% agree with you!If you like this one I suggest following up with the next book Reality Checkhttp://www.amazon.com/Reality-Check-Outsmarting-Outmanaging-Outmarketing/dp/B0020MMBA8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260366392&sr=8-3
As as a follow-up, here is an article by Guy that is written with the current climate in mind: http://www.openforum.com/idea-hub/topics/the-world/article/12-things-you-didnt-know-about-venture-capital-guy-kawasakiAlso, if you don’t read the book, here is an article that is more or less excerpted from it: http://blog.guykawasaki.com/2005/12/the_102030_rule.htmlThis leads to targeted and simple pitch decks.
