Ask HN: Catalogue of business models

Hey guys,

I was thinking the other day that I would love to read a book that was essentially a catalogue of all known business models (not just web startups) with examples and discussion.

I was reminded again by this post on the web startup business model wiki: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=648223

Does anyone have a recommendation along these lines?

Cheers

I just started a community wiki with the same idea but inverted; it's a catalog of known successful startups and their business models: http://bizmodels.wikidot.com/

So it starts with the examples instead of starting with the business models. Maybe a catalog as you wish could be accomplished tagging the corresponding startup wiki pages with "ad-supported", "freemium", "license software", etc., and then navigating each tag to find examples.

Feel free to modify the wiki to enter wiki pages for business models themselves.
