If you're not familiar with the concept at all, "The Lean Startup" isn't bad. Otherwise, it's fairly fluffy in terms of content, and you'd be better off with something like:

Nail Then Scale It: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0055D7O1U/?tag=dedasys-20

I've heard good things about this too: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006UKFFE0/?tag=dedasys-20 - if anyone wants to comment on how it compares to "Nail It".

I've also got Steve Blank's book, but haven't read much of it yet. I'm signed up for the course though, and agree that he seems like a good speaker, although I haven't had much time for it yet.

I'd read both Nail it then scale it and Running lean. They are both readable and to the point. They have slightly different approaches that both have been very valuable to me.

Nail It Scale it is definitely worth it. Very readable and cogent.

I agree, it's the other one, Running Lean I was curious about. I haven't bought it because after Lean Startup, Nail It, and Blank's book, I'm not really sure another one covering the same ground is worth it.
