Starbucked

Starbucked by Taylor Clark is a fascinating look at how Starbucks so quickly became a leviathan in the world of coffee.

Starbucked chronicles the company's humble beginnings all the way through to its current position as a global empire.

Thorough yet engaging research is offset by the author's often dry sense of humor - and it just might change the way you view Starbucks the next time you stop in for a cup.

If you have any interest in coffee, or merely entrepreneurial curiosity, you'll find Starbucked to be an enjoyable read.
