"While inventors and manufacturers will prosper with a successful idea, they are not the only ones that benefit from new products in the marketplace. It's also a very real way to stimulate the economy and provide jobs, creating a positive effect for all." ~ Julie Momyer

Do you have a creative idea but have no idea where to sell it? This book can really help you locate companies that are looking for your invention.

This book is divided into three sections:

1. Manufactures, Direct Marketers & Product Scouts

(Each manufacturer entry has a section on items the company sells, their website, how to reach them by phone or email, examples of some of their products, comments and their idea submission policy. There are also some interviews with inventors.)

2. Businesses, Organizations and Publications for the Inventor

3. Licensing, Patents, Copyrights & Pitching Your Idea

Some of the types of products the companies in this book are looking for include:

Medical supplies, fishing lures, office products, aquatic leisure products, tools, scientific lab equipment, cleaning products, car parts, toys, home products, gourmet foods, barbeque sauces, beverages, camping equipment, educational books, games, beauty products, paper products, cabinetry, baby products, bicycles, crafts, cookware, pool accessories, electronics and storage containers.

Overall this is a very helpful book. I wish my dad had been able to buy this book when I was a kid. He was always inventing new things and still does. For me, this book was useful because I found two companies that might be interested in a brownie recipe I invented. It is much better than any boxed mix I've ever tried.

~The Rebecca Review

This updated version has even more information than before. The market is always changing and this book stays in step with the changes.

I love this book. I love that it has all the information on each company and that every company listed will accept ideas from people like me or my neighbor. To make money by selling your ideas is a great idea :)

I love this book and it has way more info than the first one. There are a LOT of manufacturers out there that won't work with anyone outside of their company...I know this from personal experience. This book only lists the ones that will. Makes the search for a buyer or licensor a lot easier!
