It's available since July 8th 2014 in Amazon... I see what you did there with your marketing ingeniousness, Mr. WSJ || Bill Gates.

The problem is that I'm easy, all too easy, and I fall for these ploys. And now I'm biting myself to buy the book :) Well done.

edit: what's available is a Kindle edition, that I suppose is from the same book http://www.amazon.com/Business-Adventures-Twelve-Classic-Str...
