Using Book Summaries Questions

What is the difference between the Lite and Pro versions?	BusinessSummaries Lite is a 1- to 2-page book summary delivered once a month to subscribers for free. If a subscriber wants a more comprehensive version in a 9- to 12-page summary and more books to study delivered once a week, then BusinessSummaries Pro is recommended. It is a paid subscription available in single or multi-license fees.
How do I get my BusinessSummaries?	Each week, BusinessSummaries.Com prepares a 9- to 12- page summary for the Pro version (1- to 2-ages for the Lite ) of the best ideas and concepts from a business book. The executive summary is e-mailed to you every week (every month for Lite ). You can read the summary in about 20-30 minutes from your computer screen, or print it to read while you're traveling, waiting for an appointment, at home in your study or while vacationing.

You don't need to go back to the back and look for the key concepts you need to review. Just go back to your book summary.
Can I read the book even after I read my book summary?	Certainly. Some people want a taste first before they decide to eat the whole meal. They use their book summary as a screening process for choosing a book to read. As for others, they enjoyed the concept in their book summary that they decide to read the whole book in their spare time.
