This review is from: The Barter Bible: A Guide to Increase Your Cash Flow Using Barter (Paperback)

A practical, comprehensive, highly recommended "how to" resource and guide, The Barter Bible is specifically designed to help business owners, managers; and entrepreneurs increase their cash flow utilizing the barter method, that is, the direct exchange of goods and services for other goods and services. Tom Derkas draws upon his years of experience and expertise as the president of a San Francisco Bay Area consulting firm specializing in helping businesses increase their cash flow to explain the differences between a local barter trade exchange and a national barter franchise; tips, tricks and techniques for successfully bartering; alternative fund raising for non-profits and charitable organizations; the IRS and bartering; Internet trade exchanges, and more.

1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading Title, January 4, 2002

By 

Casimiro J. S. de Jesus (Lisbon, Portugal) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Barter Bible: A Guide to Increase Your Cash Flow Using Barter (Paperback)

I bought the book and feel cheated. The title of the book is misleading. The first 48 pages of text are very poor. One can get much better information browsing the internet, free.
We could consider the book as a directory but, for a dynamic sector as the barter sector, it became fast outdated. Besides, I do not believe it ever was very useful as a dyrectory.
