When it comes to franchise information by book, this is one of the most comprehensive sources you can find. The author and publisher have done a superlative job.

This review is from: The 1999 Franchise Annual: "The Original" Franchise Handbook and Directory (Serial) (Paperback)

I was disappointed. Although I am sure it is a difficult task to maintain an accurate, complete, and up to date database on thousands of corporations, I expected more. On a more positive note, the book does a good job of listing corporate email addresses, phone numbers and contact info.
