There were some good ideas here, but I think this could have been a series of blog posts rather than a book. I've found this to be the case with a few other 37Signals books I've read, if you read the blog you basically have the content of the book.
I think I'm just not a huge fan of business books, they prescribe trite solutions to complex problems, and if their being honest they tend to dilute said trite solutions with so many caveats that the advice becomes generic.
Two stars because, I do think there are some interesting ideas and this this book is just nebulous enough that said ideas can be applied to almost any team or small organization.
