Presenting Open Book

Today we are thrilled to debut "Open Book," a new column in which we will have authors of new business and investing books write about their books.

"Open Book" is very unusual in that most media outlets review books. With this new column, readers get to read the author's prose and decide for themselves whether they believe the book is worth a read. "Open Book" is also a great educational tool, because the column will feature a variety of authors who discuss a wide range of subjects.

TheStreet.com is working with large publishers of business and financial books to line up authors and their works, often in advance of publication. One requirement for the "Open Book" column is that the book be available for purchase or advance order on the day the column runs, so you'll find a link to the book in every story.

Let's stay interactive.
