I thought I was buying a book and I received a pile of copy paper, printed on one side and bound to a makeshift cover. I am surprised that Amazon would agree to sell something like this for almost $70! Very, very disappointed. My kids could have done a better job.

Ordered this book could not wait to start reading it, found it to be most informative about the whole process of setting up the business, gave me all i needed and even pointed me in the right direction for things not covered in greater detail a good purchase.

Artwork in book is poorly xerox copies.
There are no photos or good illustrations
to bring the ideas to life. single sided
printed book - waste of resources. No
new info that can't be gleaned from internet
for free.
