This contribution sets out to frame the phenomenon of company books and its con- temporary evolution in Italy in the context of corporate publishing and communication. Corporate history books, biographies and other kinds of editions are promoted by organizations to preserve and communicate their own corporate history, identity and heritage to stakeholders. Despite representing a distinctive and long-standing pub- lishing genre, corporate monographs remain a singular case of “books-no books” affected by a fundamental inattention and prejudice about their literary and docu- mentary quality. The historic and contemporary profiles of this sector are retraced and compared through a focused review of several field studies and literary “classics” concerning the Italian case. Indeed, books stand among the most refined, highly performing but also most complex media to be used, in absolute terms, by companies and profes- sionals, who are being called upon to rediscover and learn how to drive such a pow- erful technology of communication, one that has a long life ahead of it yet.
