There are about 20 e-myth books. Is there a specific title?

This is the 2nd (or later, somewhat re-written) edition of the book referenced: - https://www.amazon.com/E-Myth-Revisited-Small-Businesses-Abo...
Yes, this is the book I read and was referencing. My apologies, I did not realize he released so many similar versions.
Yeah - no worries. Except for E-myth Manganager - I didn't either until a couple of years ago my younger brother was going to open up a clinic and was talking about "E-myth for Doctors" or some such. Now I think he has one for all walks of life (like the "One minute Manager" or something). To me, it dilutes the message. My opinion is not the one that counts! :-)

I still think it (the original) is a great book.

I suspect it is this one based on the summary at Amazon "Michael Gerber's The E-Myth Revisited should be required listening for anyone thinking about starting a business or for those who have already taken that fateful step. The title refers to the author's belief that entrepreneurs--typically brimming with good but distracting ideas--make poor businesspeople."

The author's name is right there in the comment.
The author has written 20 books in the "E-Myth" series dating back to 1990.
Oddly, that doesn't help much as the same author wrote multiple books with very similar titles.
Well, yeah. Since then the author has kind of Tom Clancy'd the joint up with a whole lotta more titles.
