^ And I highly recommend the book. I am currently on page 122 out of 195. The stories about his personal life are great, along with the Jack and Peter stories. There is mention of SDC several times thoughout the book, and he talks about how the company dealt with closing Celebration City.

That'd be an interesting section to read.
Here's the book on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Love-Works-Timeless-Principles-Effective/dp/0310335671/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1337356203&sr=1-1

Any word on if this book will be sold in the souvenir shop at Silver Dollar City? Or, at least at a bookstore in Branson. :P
The book is sold throughout SDC at many of the shops. It's where mine came from.
Thanks! :)
Just heard on the news this morning that Joel Manby will be the keynote speaker at the Branson Business Expo on Tuesday, June 19th from 8am to 10am.
Saw it for sale in the store while waiting to ride the Branson Belle last Saturday.
I saw a copy at the taffy shop!
I recieved an email from Dollywood for their "E-Newsletter" and it talked about the book and Dolly was quoted saying "If this dosen't inspire you to be a better leader, I don't know what will". The book is being sold throughout Dollywood as well.
