Has anyone read Steve Harmon's new book(s)? On the SOFTBANK thread,
someone mentioned "Steve Harmon's new book":

"Does anyone here have access to Venture One? www.ventureone.com
Steve Harmon's new book has private company valuations from Venture One in it and here would be a great source for looking at latest-round valuations for Softbank portfolio companies-even as a benchmark. Then applying some kind of estimate of ownership size by Softbank would it be possible to estimate the value of these private
firms?"

This surprised me because I heard a Harmon book was in the works but only in the pipeline and not out for a few months. So I checked Amazon.com, and find 2 books with his name on it:

"Investing in Ipos"
amazon.com

That book is actually by Tom Taulli with a foreward by Harmon. I believe Tom Taulli used to the feature writer for SI but then was suddenly fired for some bizarre reason (he took a vacation to the beach without telling GNET??). I think he writes for iionline.com now.

Now, here's the "BIG ONE" - Steve Harmon's book. Is it really out, has anyone read it and have thoughts??:

"Zero Gravity : Riding Venture Capital from High-Tech Start-Up to Ipo"
amazon.com

Generally, when it comes to anything even mildly to related to Net stocks, I'm wary of the obsolescence of books. but I'm gonna check it out soon as it comes out...
