In 1979, Sonny Monosson gained national attention when he nearly went to jail for wearing a sandwich board sign to sell used computer equipment at a computer conference in Atlantic City. As an entrepreneur, he once described himself as "starting new companies as a hobby," and over the course of his career, founded 17 in all. This memoir of his colorful life in business focuses on his legendary impact on the used computer and commercial finance industries, featuring recollections and anecdotes of prominent leaders in the Boston business community, from the 1940s to the present. Chapters include accounts on gunrunning to Israel, numerous encounters with corporate fraud, and an insider's account of the legendary rivary between DEC and IBM. Sonny Monosson regarded "problems" in business as opportunities to make money, and was very adept at turning them to his advantage.
