IN-N-OUT BURGER---A Behind-The-Counter Look At The Fast-Food Chain That Breaks All The Rules by Stacy Perman
"At last, the great American small-business story gets told. It is a reassuring read in uncertain times, reminding business owners to listen to customers, do what you love, and have fun while you do it." -Sir Richard Branson

If you live anywhere in the West you know about In-N-Out Burger. It has become nothing less than a cultural institution that can lay claim to an insanely loyal following. For years I lived in El Monte, California the first city to the West of Baldwin Park, the home of In-N-Out Burger. Then for a few years I lived in West Covina just to the East of Baldwin Park. To me, Perman's story was both familiar and fascinating. If you love In-N-Out burgers you will love this book.
