This review is from: Craft Business (Self-Counsel Business Series) (Paperback)

i bought this book and barbara brabec's book. They both have the same kind of information, but spend the extra $ for her book as she dedicates a few hundred more pages to these subjects.

This review is from: Craft Business (Self-Counsel Business Series) (Paperback)

This book covers the A-Z of starting and running a craft business. It does not cover how to make crafts but it does give a long list of the types of crafts people can market. This book has helpful suggestions for beginners who want to start a craft business, as-well-as, seasoned professionals who want to expand or improve their craft business. The information in the chapters on production, getting loans, and market research are extremely helpful. Also included are helpful tips on how to pick the best craft shows. The author, William Hynes, shows his extensive knowledge of the craft business and shares his knowledge in an easy to read, straight-forward manner.
