A few years back, I worked in a project in the Entertainment Industry in Holly wood. There it was where I first met Emmanuel Hadzipetros.  I was impressed on how knowledgeable he was regarding EDI related issues. With no surprise I discovered that he published a great book. Below the highlights and a link to see more details about the book.
