Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Starting a business part-time, at home, and on a shoestring is the dream of many entrepreneurs. Cook provides case histories of about 40 "home-grown million-dollar businesses" and discusses financing, advertising, taxes, marketing, office equipment, and franchises. He also lists such resources as books, organizations, newsletters/magazines, business office mail-order suppliers, home study schools, and mailing list sources. Cook's well-researched book differs from Paul and Sarah Edwards's The Best Home Businesses for the 90's ( LJ 11/15/91) in that it does not give the advantages, disadvantages, start-up costs, and potential earnings of specific businesses. It also differs from Erica Baremyer's Great Ideas for Making Money at Home ( LJ 2/15/92) in that it is not arranged by specific area of expertise, except for one unique chapter on work-at-home opportunities for retirees and the disabled. Recommended for all small business collections. (Illustrations and index not seen.)-- Loraine F. Sweetland, Rebok Memorial Lib., Silver Spring, Md.
