Title: Pizza Tiger (Soft Cover) (Published by Random House, Inc., New York)
Author: Monaghan, Tom; With Anderson, Robert
Description: Inscribed by the author. "Founder of Domino's, the world's largest pizza company, and owner of the Detroit Tigers, Monaghan here joins the tycoons who have ventured into autobiography. His company, having grown in 25 years from a modest pizza restaurant into an international chain of 2600 stores during the franchising boom of the '60s and '70s, now has $1.1 billion in annual sales. Stressing that spiritual values derived from his Catholic seminary days take precedence over other considerations, Monaghan dismisses such worldly pleasures as private jets, yachts and tropical islands as "just frosting." From this pedestrian account of his climb up the ladder of success, it appears that except for his baseball team and an interest in Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture, Monaghan is totally dedicated to every aspect of the pizza business. He attributes the leading position of Domino's Pizza in the fast-food industry to his philosophy of defensive management of concentrating on the business one already has." Publisher's Weekly. Includes one illustration of the Frank Lloyd Wright designed McCormick Residence. (Fourth Edition)

Author: Domino's Pizza
Description: "The Domino's Pizza Collection of the Decorative Designs of Frank Lloyd Wright was established in the fall of 1985 with the purchase of a few pieces from a private collector. Within a year, this collection grew to become the largest of its kind in the world. Open to the public, this collection is on permanent display at the Domino's Pizza, Inc. World Headquarters complex, located at 30 Frank Lloyd Wright Drive, in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Thomas S. Monaghan, founder and president of Domino's Pizza, Inc., the world's largest pizza delivery company, is responsible for the establishment of this collection, which is dedicated to the memory of America's greatest architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. Monaghan discovered Wright's creative genius while he was a student in a Traverse City, Michigan grade school, and he dreamed of becoming an architect himself. Though this boyhood dream never came to fruition, another one took its place. Today, Monaghan is widely recognized for his dedicated efforts in the collection and preservation of Wright's designs.
