    Hi Andy - can yo clarify what you mean by problem / solution books?

    What do you want to get out of the book? (Or said another way, what are you hoping to to learn?)

      Hey Rick, sorry wasn't clear. To fix the grammar slightly, looking for "problem/solution fit" books. In other words, books that talk specifically about his to best test problem/solution fit. OR, to remove the start up jargon, books that simply provide strategies and tips on how best to validate your idea without building your product first. Does that make sense? 🤔

        Have you tried The Mom Test? It's my favorite framework for idea validation.

        I posted my notes a few weeks ago here: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/notes-from-the-mom-test-by-rob-fitzpatrick-c141dd514d
