Business Adventures is a 1969 collection of 12 essays written by John Brooks. The essays, all of which were previously published in The New Yorker, deal with financial and corporate life in the United States. In 1963 Harper & Row published The Fate of the Edsel and Other Business Adventures,[2] which contains 3 of the 12 essays published in the 1969 collection.[3]
On July 11, 2014 in an essay published in the Wall Street Journal[4][5] and slightly later in his blog, Bill Gates proclaimed Business Adventures, recommended to him by Warren Buffett, as "the best business book I've ever read."[6]
The prose is superb: reading Brooks is a supreme pleasure.

On July 8, 2014, Open Road Media released an e-book edition entitled Business Adventures: Twelve Classic Tales from the World of Wall Street[8] and in August 2014 offered a paperback edition. In 2014 Penguin Random House Audio released an audiobook of Business Adventures: Twelve Classic Tales from the World of Wall Street narrated by Johnny Heller.[4]
