If your looking for some tips on how to sell books on e-bay or some other internet auction site, this book has nothing at all to offer. It's nothing more than a series of common sense bromides (pack the books well and be nice!), and poorly written at that.

This book has general information about selling books on the internet. It is a fast and easy read at about 125 pages. It will help you to get started. However, you will need additional resources. Other good books are available and there is much information to be found directly online. Have fun!

SUZANNE PITNER HAS WRITTEN A BOOK THAT IS SOMEWHAT OVER PRICED AT $14.95, ESPECIALLY WHEN ADDING TO THAT THE COST OF SHIPPING. IN NO CHAPTER OR PARAGRAPH DOES SHE GO INTO MUCH DETAIL, ALTHOUGH THERE IS SUFFICIENT INFORMATION TO PUT THE WANNABE BOOKSELLER TO THINKING. ONE WOULD HAVE EXPECTED MORE GUIDANCE FROM A BOOK TITLED "YOUR GUIDE..."
