Another startup book: Founders At Work (featuring Mena Trott!)

One literary micro-genre that I enjoy is the startup book–tales of technology startups, whether fictional (Douglas Couplands's Microserfs) or non (Jerry Kaplan's Startup!) Recently I read Dreaming In Code, which I recommend highly. Now comes another one, called "Founders At Work" which I learned about from Joel Spolsky's blog Joel On Software.

Here's a description of the book, copy and pasted from its website.

Founders at Work is a collection of interviews with founders of famous technology companies about what happened in the very earliest days. These people are celebrities now. What was it like when they were just a couple friends with an idea? Founders like Steve Wozniak (Apple), Caterina Fake (Flickr), Mitch Kapor (Lotus), Max Levchin (PayPal), and Sabeer Bhatia (Hotmail) tell you in their own words about their surprising and often very funny discoveries as they learned how to build a company.

I was pleased to discover after reading the full list of interviewees that Mena Trott is one of them.
