In case any of you haven't already heard.

When is F@W part 2 coming out?

jedc• 18 years ago

I can't answer that, but there is apparrently a new chapter in the paperback that discusses the early history (in interview format) with Jessica Livingston.

I'd be interested in an all YC edition of Founders at Work.

staunch2• 18 years ago

I would too, but somewhat less interested because the companies are still so early stage. The story is just beginning for most of them.

fusionman• 18 years ago

I just ordered F@W. Is it a good read?

t0pj• 18 years ago

It's a good reread as well.

chriskelley• 18 years ago

I'm about halfway through and really enjoying it. There are many hidden gems if you pay attention.

I also like that you can read it fairly non-linear.

brlewis• 18 years ago

It's a very good read. Jessica Livingston has a really smooth interview style. Her questions are right there in the text, yet it reads as if the founders are just spontaneously telling their story.

Great book, now more compact and affordable. Buy it and read it, you'll learn so much.

tbrooks• 18 years ago

I just started it today. Great narratives from the authors. It'll make you want to pull on the job and jump into a start-up. (As if it's that easy...)

I can't find the audiobook version. Darn.

ALee• 18 years ago

Get this book because it puts everything in context. Put it rigt next to Hackers and Painters on your shelf.

staunch2• 18 years ago

For many years I've kept a book in my laptop bag so I always have something interesting to read. These days I'm usually carrying Founders at Work and another book.

Congrats Jessica!

zandorg• 18 years ago

I'm still enjoying this book. I put a tick in pencil, on the contents page, next to the chapters I've read. Bookmark old style!

beaudeal2• 18 years ago

does anyone know if the updated version is only available in paperback? i've been meaning to read f@w for a while, and went to order it today, but i would really prefer the updated version in hardcover...

"updated version"?

pg• 18 years ago

The interview with Jessica is only in the paperback, as far as I know.

beaudeal2• 18 years ago

Sorry EastSmith, by updated I meant includes the interview with Jessica - Thanks so much for the information, pg!

EastSmith2• 18 years ago

Read most of it a month ago. Great read!

fallentimes• 18 years ago

I can't wait until Muffin (Alexis) gets back from Thailand.

Thank God(or YC) that Jessica left the Investment Banking Industry way back in 2005.
