I purchased this book hoping that it could provide some insight into the laws surrounding a travel-based business or provide some really helpful insights into building the business, but really this book is less about the travel aspect, and more about the nuts and bolts of building any business and really has little focus on the travel industry in particular.

Even as a setting up your business book, it provides brief overview of what you need to do, but doesn't really dive deep into any particular topic. One topic that I found especially bizarre within the book was about creating your travel website as an e-commerce website and how you could start that business via E-bay -- there's a good part of a chapter dedicated to that, but when I look at the variety of travel websites out there and talk to people in the industry, very few associate travel with an e-commerce website.

Furthermore, the choice of highlighted providers are odd and I've barely heard of some of them and surprised that some of the big players are not even mentioned.

I wouldn't waste your money on this one...
