RALEIGH, NC, December 17, 2010

The "Small Business Book Awards" for 2010 celebrates the best books that small business people and entrepreneurs should read. Brought to you by the award-winning Small Business Trends, this is the third year that entrepreneurs vote on which they think are the best books. Over 100 books are listed with Olalah Njenga's book "37 What Were They Thinking Moments in Marketing" running in the top third of those nominated.

In her review of "37 What" Margie Zable Fisher, President of Zable Fisher Public Relations says, "My first thought while reading this book:"Uh-oh, I've done that. And that. And that. Oh - and I still do that. Oops! It's hard not to take personally the lessons learned." Read the review at http://smallbiztrends.com/2010/02/what-were-they-thinking-marketing.html

"The idea behind '37 What Were They Thinking Moments in Marketing' is that everyone makes mistakes - and this book features 37 anecdotal marketing missteps that I've witnessed or experienced. Readers have seen themselves in more than one of what I call "scenes". But the best part is, readers take away information about what to do, as well as what not to do again," Njenga remarks.

Readers can vote daily through December 15, 2010 at http://bookawards.smallbiztrends.com/marketing/37-what-were-they-thinking-moments/. Winners will be announced December 20, 2010
