Fuld (204 pages, 1988), is a sequel to the author’s Com ­ petitor Intelligence: How to Get It— How to Use It (Wiley, 1985). As in the first book, libraries of all types get much credit for the materials and services they provide. Fuld insists that corporate libraries not be relegated to organizational backwaters be­ cause they are “intelligence goldmines” that should store and maintain critical competitor information that often gets lost elsewhere. The book is an in­ triguing look at how (and how not) to get the goods on the other guy using techniques that are quite of­ ten the province of the professional librarian.
