i have an amazing idea, lets take the top 1000 business books, condense their ideas down to 1 page each and remove all the fluff and sell this as a 1000 page book

It reminds me of the Tao Te Ching of Laozi... and Jesus' parables in the New Testament.

So maybe your idea has a future...

You'll get a 60 pages book, not a 1000 pages one.
Most books rehash the same ideas so you could compress it in a much shorter one
Here you go:

"Focus on value creation. Execution beats ideas. Leadership and culture matter."

Extreme! but a calendar with one of these a day plus a paragraph to explain would be pretty good.
Don't we already have linkedin for those condensed ideas?
That's what "The Personal MBA" book did
