"Painstakingly researched, it was challenging. A diffrent sort of project for me." Part quasi-documentary, part instructional book, part soap-opera story of a young plant manager's struggle with a new business, his family and their corporate owners. He must find a way to save his factory using a new theory of mass production,

One of Eli Goldratt's convictions was that the goal of an individual or an organization should not be defined in absolute terms. A good definition of a goal is one that sets us on a path of ongoing improvement.

Pursuing such a goal necessitates more than one breakthrough. In fact it requires many. To be in a position to identify these break- throughs we should have a deep understanding of the underlying rules of our environment.

Fortune Magazine

"Anybody who considers himself a manager should rush out, buy and devour this book immediately. If you are the only one in your place to have read it, your progress along the path to the top may suddenly accelerate ... one of the most outstanding business books I have ever encountered."
Punch Magazine

"Goal readers are now doing the best work of their lives."
Success Magazine

"A factory may be an unlikely setting for a novel, but the book has been wildly effective ... "

When I discovered the Belmont paperback editions of The Shadow in the 60's my interest was piqued. I devoured them. I sought out the old Street and Smith pulps. I even drew my own fanzine comic book version, long before DC Comics licensed or launched the classic Kaluta/O'Neil version.

Over the years I followed his adventures as illustrated by Kaluta, Steranko, Robbins, Chaykin, Sienkiewicz, Baker, Barreto, Gianni and others.

Recently Dynamite Comics commissioned a series of covers for The Shadow, giving me the opportunity to pay my respects to one the earliest and most profound influences on my career as a storyteller and illustrator.
