In 1978, the founders of Soundview
Executive Book Summaries pioneered
the concept of outlining the key
points and ideas of full-length
business books into quick and
easy-to-read print summaries.
Launched in Connecticut, co-founder
and publisher Cynthia Folino moved
the company to Vermont in the early
1980s. In 1999, the company was
acquired by Clement Communications
Publishing Group, a Concordville,
Pennsylvania-based publisher of
business-to-business newsletters and
motivational posters for the
workplace.
Throughout the years, Soundview has
worked closely with the leading
business book publishers of the
world to offer print summaries of
the thirty best business books of
the year to its more than 40,000
worldwide subscribers. Always
seeking to bring more business book
information to its customers,
Soundview launched an expanded
version of its book review
newsletter (now called New and
Noteworthy), and went online with
its summary.com Web site in 1995. In
March 2000, Soundview began offering
audio-cassette and CD versions of
its summaries. In September 2001,
Soundview introduced the electronic
version of its book summaries.
For the past 28 years, Soundview
Executive Book Summaries has evolved
through new designs, added services,
and even new addresses. We have
never wavered, however, from our
core mission: to present summaries
of the cutting-edge ideas and
hands-on, how-to management guides
that the year’s 30 Best Business
Books can offer. |
