3.0
5/6 for fall (46/24 for the year) - Selling Sexy, Sherman & Fernandez. Thanks to @netgalley and @macmillan.audio for the ARC audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
This book was clearly very thoroughly researched. The author definitely did her homework on the history of Wexner and LBrands, to the point where it was almost like a history textbook of the company.
The book doesn’t really live up to the title. It was purely the factual account of the building of the LBrands empire and Wexner’s life. There was also a fair amount of discussion of competitor companies that seemed a little disjointed from the rest of the book.
This could definitely use some editing down, as the book was so long that I sped it up to 2x speed to get through it. I don’t think it was a bad book. It was just a lot of statistics and names and recounting of information that is already public. I don’t think this book covers anything that isn’t really already known or knowable about the company. 3 ⭐️
