review
startups stand out Small is beautiful. And one relevant concept these days is small and medium enterprises (SMEs). They are now pretty important all over the world.
Through its global research, the World Bank estimates that small and medium businesses comprise around 95% of existing businesses around the world and provide jobs to approximately 60% of private-sector workers. SMEs are also believed to be behind roughly 50% of world gross value added (GVA). In addition to being a source of significant economic prosperity, SMEs are also a source of great innovation and job creation. And, because they’re small, they are much more flexible than large firms. So they might be smaller but they’re certainly “big business.” There’s so much to be gained from an entrepreneurial standpoint. And it is also very globally “in trend” now especially among the younger generations to be your own boss and share your creativity through your own little organization. By becoming an entrepreneur you can gain freedom (and money of course) by doing what you love and when you do what you love you can do a great job. You can make an impact on the world and build a legacy! Aren’t you inspired to start up a little business of your own if you haven’t done so already? 6
review
Nothing stands still and neither should entrepreneurs if they want to survive. So once an SME or entrepreneurial venture is established, the owner has to figure out a way to differentiate from others and remain in customers’ minds to stay in the game. Others have done it and so can you! The possibilities are limitless. In this day and age of online shopping, SME business owners are reinventing all or part of their businesses and essentially being reborn. But it doesn’t stop there. Customers are now drawn into a business or shop by the look and feel of it and the look of everything associated with it. You can get ahead in this respect by strategically using aesthetics, colors, images, fonts and other elements not just in your shop design but also your product and service design. That’s just what many small business owners are doing these days. Entrepreneurs have taken visual design to all new highs by using design to enhance their businesses, create brand identities as well as build trust and interest. Small businesses can make their mark through things like graphic tools, exterior design, interior design, atmosphere design or through the design of their products and services and more! There are so many neat and crafty shops and loads of amazing new startups just waiting to be discovered. And I just love checking out these stores to see what the owner has come up with. There’s a lot to be learned from them on how to make your business successful and build a memorable brand. Many of these successful small shops are very particular about their visual design giving great importance to their interior and exterior as well as their logos, leaflets, packaging and even their shop cards. Once inside a little shop that you visit you’ll also want to take note of the space design and charming features of the shop. By unlocking the potential of visual design, these entrepreneurs give their businesses personality and communicate their vision. When inside a startup like this where so much attention is given to even the smallest detail, it’s hard not to be inspired! All the books you see in this feature are only a couple examples of our large collection on design ideas. I know you’ll find these books extremely helpful whether you’re tempted to start your own business now, need to revamp your existing one to survive or are stumped for new ideas to make your venture even more appealing than before. Looking forward to seeing you at Asia Books and to enjoying the great things you come up with! Images from EAT & STAY / PAGE ONE PUBLISHING and SMALL SHOP GRAPHICS IN JAPAN / PIE BOOKS

business & management
In 1962, fresh out of business school, Phil Knight borrowed $50 from his father and created a company with a simple mission: import high-quality, low-cost athletic shoes from Japan. Selling the shoes from the boot of his Plymouth, Knight grossed $8000 in his first year. Today, Nike's annual sales top $30 billion. In an age of start-ups, Nike is the ne plus ultra of all start-ups, and the swoosh has become a revolutionary, globe-spanning icon, one of the most ubiquitous and recognisable symbols in the world today. But Knight, the man behind the swoosh, has always remained a mystery. Now, for the first time, he tells his story. A memoir rich with insight.

Warned that his life is in danger, but more concerned for his son's well-being, Balder wants Millennium to publish his story - and it is a terrifying one. More interesting to Blomkvist than Balder's world-leading advances in Artificial Intelligence, is his connection with a certain female superhacker. It seems that Salander, like Balder, is a target of ruthless cyber gangsters - and a violent criminal conspiracy that will very soon bring terror to the snowbound streets of Stockholm, to the Millennium team, and to Blomkvist and Salander themselves.

3D METALLIC NANO PUZZLE The newest of the Blacksmith 3D metallic nano model puzzle kits includes a special golden edition of the world famous Eiffel Tower and a merry go round. A special surprise this time is two models, only available here in Thailand, that are modelled after Thailand’s iconic Wat Arun or Temple of Dawn and the Tuk-Tuk, a favorite among tourists! All you have to do is pop out each model’s stainless steel sheet of unbelievably detailed laser cutting and bend the tab to attach the ends together as indicated in the instructions to end up with tiny exquisite replicas!
Crystal Puzzle Crystal Puzzle, a translucent 3-dimensional jigsaw, is the newest in puzzle mania. Made from the highest quality ABS plastic, these beautiful crystal-like items feature adorable designs for any age or gender. Choose from several designs like famous cartoon characters, world famous tourist attractions, and big and small creatures! This 3D puzzle challenges your ability as it requires both skill and concentration and can be presented as a gift for any occasion or a home decor item brightening up any corner.
I sincerely hope you enjoy these art-related items and that they bring you some excitement. As Pablo Picasso once said “The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.” Don’t forget to browse through our other non-book items. I’m certain you’ll be pleased with what you find. I wish you an “art-filled” time! 21
