Investment books from Princeton University Press

Princeton University Press is a useful resource for books.

Books reviews, table of content, sampler chapter in PDF format and sometimes podcast/vodcast are available for books published by Princeton University Press.

Its blog is a good way to get updated news on Princeton’s new books launches, authors’ interviews and other activities. I added the blog to my Investment Bloglist.

There is also a new book email newsletter where you can select the field you are interested in. New books email updates will be sent to your email Inbox. The available fields directly applicable to investment will be Economics and Finance.

• Do you have a short list of acquisition targets ready?
• Should you restart conversations with potential alliance partners?
• Are you ready to divest newly underperforming businesses?

Singapore website: InSing

Came across this Singapore website InSing.

Its Food & Drink, Shopping, Things To Do could be useful to reduce information cost to get good deals on food, drink, shopping and activities in Singapore.

I like this Events Calendar and also the Fast Finder (for searches on food, drink, shopping and activities in Singapore)

Just wonder how complete is the information and how it gets the information.
