This book was VERY expensive. It took a while to get to me. I really looked forward to it. Then it arrived. It is SMALL. Look at the published physical dimensions in the description. I read the book. It is THIN. Look how few pages are in this book. Then I noticed that an ENORMOUS chunk of this book is NOT articles by famous VC persons but rather just BOILERPLATE legal contract language. This leaves several TINY articles of GENERIC, NOT SPECIALIZED information about the venture capital market. If I had READ the description more closely to see how small this book was (physically and page length) I might have had some idea how disappointed I would be. But I would NOT have figured out just HOW LAME THIS BOOK IS without owning it and seeing how much of it is WASTED SPACE in my opinion. You could learn more (at the moment) by visiting Harvard Business School's Entrepreneurship program online and watching the videos of real venture capitalists and real businesspersons discussing IN-DEPTH the thinking behind their moves. DON'T LET YOURSELF FEEL TAKEN. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. This book is a terrible waste of money that could have gone to print business cards or take a train to a meeting or anything better to promote your entrepreneurial ambitions.

This book is an example of a new type of rip-off sometimes found on Amazon.com.
- An impressive book title indicates a specialist book on a niche subject
- A detailed book description with all the rigt words
- A high price tag signals quality

And then, when the book arrives, the reader discover that the text is very short and very basic, and could have written by a school boy. But he cannot complain, because the book is about the stated subject.

The perfect rip-off!
