This book leaves much to be desired. The author assembled a bunch of poorly conducted interviews-which sound more like advertisements for the individuals interviewed-and called this a book.

If you are looking for ideas and/or inspiration, look elsewhere. This book provides neither. That is unless you're really interested to find out what dress code each company favors. Yes, that's a common thread among the interviews. Hardly the stuff that will help you grow your company.

Simply put, I wish this book was around before I jumped on the Internet bandwagon. The lessons learned here are invaluable -- and will inspire and help anyone involved in the Internet (entrepreneur or not).

"Net Know-How" is a great read -- quick, insightful and full of very exciting success stories. In today's environment, I'm sure many are skeptical of Internet successes -- well, these are true! I actually looked up all 25 companies featured in the book -- expecting most to be out of business. I was wrong -- all 25 are still alive today! Just another testament to the knowledge this compelling book has to offer you. It should be required reading at the top B-schools in the country.

This book was a great read! I found it inspirational, motivating, fun and realistic. The questions posed by Mr. Romeo where the same ones that i would have asked. I learned alot about the internet as well as lots of helpful insight from entreprenuers who have learned the hard way.

Romeo presents a lucid, insightful journey into the world of internet entrepreneurialism. This book is a must read if you're considering a startup!

Romeo's book is a lucid, insightful view of the internet world. If you're interested in starting an internet-based business, this book is a must read!

Jim Romeo's Net Know-How: Surviving the Bloodbath - Straight Talk From 25 Internet Entrepreneurs is an engaging and informative selection of twenty-five true stories on the theme of starting up an Internet business, as told by people who did it. The creators of experience.com, collages.net, carepackages.com and more share their stories, including what they expected, the surprises that caught them unawares, and the shrewd thinking and careful preparations that kept them going when other dot-com companies failed. Net Know-How is a first-rate book of anecdotal business wisdom, and highly recommended for anyone considering launching or working for a dot-com company!
