Agree Josh. It was a trendsetter for lean startup movement. Other good books in the series include Lean Product Playbook by Dan Olsen and Ash Maurya's book
Go for Inspired or Empowered by Marty Cagan. It's explaining how great product companies work and what makes them successful.
Venture Deals by Brad Feld!
profit first
Yes, Profit First is a great book by Mike Michaelowiz. Marketing differently is also a really good book by Mike. Definitely worth reading.
I would recommend
Hey, Whipple, Squeeze This: The Classic Guide to Creating Great Ads
It's a great book for every entrepreneur who starts to promote their products/services. The voice is so friendly and the examples are also very practical as well. I took some advice from this book to set up social media channels for my product - Petgotchi!
If you want to focus more on solopreneurship/indie making I would add MAKE book (by Levelsio) and Zero to Sold (by Arvid Kahl).
Launching soon!
