Always Fresh: The Untold Story of Tim Horton's by… door Ron Joyce
What could have been a fascinating tale of one of Canada's iconic brands was in actuality a painfully poorly written book full of justifications. This book was a struggle to get through, simply because the writing was so unbelievably poor. This, boys and girls, is why you don't let ageing executives dictate their books after a three-martini lunch.
