Meet Jack Jack is the retired president and founder of for 800-CEO-READ, now an independent company, but longtime partner of the Harry W. Schwartz Bookshops. Hired thirty years ago by the late David Schwartz to promote business and computer books to the Milwaukee business community, Jack used his considerable sales skills and innate business acumen to grow that 3-shelf business section into a multimillion dollar specialty business book retailer.
