Review

"Bill Cook is a great American success story... Not only is Cook's journey from garage tinkerer to extraordinary wealth a great yarn, it reveals interesting lessons in how success is achieved and how it is defined... I learned a lot from him." Angelo Pizzo, writer and producer, Hoosiers "Bill Cook's amazing life and career become both fascinating and inspirational in the hands of Bob Hammel. A must-read biography." Michael Koryta, novelist "Thanks to Hammel, Cook as inventor, entrepreneur, preservationist, and philanthropist truly comes to life - and readers come to know a fascinating Hoosier and American." Robert Schmuhl, author of In So Many Words


Product Description

Bill Cook epitomizes the American success story. His business ventures in medical devices, pharmaceuticals, genetics, real estate, retail management, and travel services have made him a billionaire. Yet, Cook continues to lead a modest life, involving himself in a variety of philanthropic activities that have included historic preservation and even a marching band. This riveting story is the first-ever biography of the entrepreneur who, working from the spare bedroom of his Bloomington, Indiana, apartment in 1963 with a $1,500 investment, began to construct the wire guides, needles, and catheters that would become the foundation of the global multi-billion-dollar Cook Group. Biographer Bob Hammel, with extraordinary access to Cook, his files, and his associates, has created a vivid portrait of this modern, multidimensional Horatio Alger - quirky humour, widely varied interests, and all. Informative and inspiring, this book celebrates an exceptional self-made individual.
