Looks like Reader's Digest should have bought Kaplan's management skills along with his company:
"Much of David and Earl Kaplan's wealth derives from the business Earl Kaplan founded, Books Are Fun, which was sold to Reader's Digest for $380 million although, according to Publishers' Weekly, Reader's Digest has since taken a $188 million write-down on BAF and the company has filed a lawsuit against Earl Kaplan for violating a non-compete clause. http://www.highcountrynews.info/hcn/weekly/2006/03-02-06/n_heavenly.htm To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
