Striving But Jiving

The book "Great Patents" by David Orange is far from great, and it was not written by Orange, who only penned the introduction, and otherwise claims editorship. The subtitle to this slender volume is "advanced strategies for innovative growth companies," but there's nothing in the book that is advanced, or particularly strategic, other than the implicit message of "get a lawyer," as the book breezes through topics that are either mind-numbing or an academic point of view that has only passing semblance to reality. The book wanders between blurb dross and boring detail, in disconnected chapters on diverse subject matter. The highest compliment that may be paid to this hodgepodge is that the Times Roman font used is at a point size that makes the text easy to read. At $75 in paperback, $90 hardcover, this book is nothing less than a shameless attempt at theft.
