Best Books on Improving Profitability?

[CPisHere]

I always assumed that more revenue = more profit. Afterall, your fixed costs stay fixed, so higher revenue should lead to higher net profit %.... right?

We all know you just have to "create value" and "run lean", but in my experience profitability is actually much more than that.

I've read a couple books on profitability -

• The Art of Profitability (meh)
• Profits Aren't Everything, They Are the Only Thing (good for emphasizing the importance)
• The Laws of Profit: How Entrepreneurs use Consulting Secrets... (surprisingly good)

It's a shockingly short list compared to the number of business books out there. So what are your best suggestions to add?
