Recent Hooks Book Events! Check these out!





We've had a busy week! Hosting Andy McAfee for four events in two days discussing his new book Enterprise 2.0. Andy coined the phrase and gave us some great insights into the value of networks and connections. Bob Pozen charmed a crowd of 150 at the IMF discussing his treatise on the financial crisis, Too Big to Save. Bob will be back in DC again soon; meanwhile we are meeting with him in Boston to get ideas for HBE Boston. We closed the week with the amazing Meg Whitman (www.megwhitman.com); whose "bias for action" was evident in her discussion of The Power of Many her new book about her life and career as CEO of EBay! Meg is now running for Governor of California; keep your eyes on her.

HBE in NYC! One Degree Separated from Jon Stewart



Perry and Loretta headed off to NYC last week to visit our friends in the publishing world. With lots of new clients and a new Boston office we were excited to hear about some great new ideas and books for the spring. And while visiting our good friend DeeDee DiBartlo at William Morrow(publicist for Levitt and Dubner's SUPERFREAKONOMICS) we discovered that our HOOKS BOOK EVENTS book bags did actually end up on the DAILY SHOW with Jon Stewart! We had asked Levitt to please display on Jon's desk when he was on the show after our DC event with him. I like that! A man who takes direction well. Jon, look out, we may send you some more. PPH
