2.0 out of 5 stars Not so informative, July 13, 2006

By	C. GILCHRIST (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Very, Very, basic book. I was looking for something that could provide some more informative feedback on how to pick a franchise. This book was extremely basic. Most of the book was very elementary business, such as research your franchise, don't get talked into a bad deal by a salesman, etc.

It did help outline the basic process, but didn't provide any insight to actually picking a franchise.
