Pretty good, a little biased.,

This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Franchising (Paperback)
Explains franchising well, pretty detailed without getting confusing, but definitely biased towards buying a franchise, but I think all these books are biased and tell people to run out and incur all the risks and invest $500,000 on a product that will net you $40,000/year (if your lucky) after all the franchising fees and franchising costs.
