1.0 out of 5 stars Buy only if you need an alterations price list, February 22, 2003

This review is from: Sewing As a Home Business (Paperback)

Bought this book because I am starting a home dec business. I read it in 30 minutes. It was absolutely no help. About half of the book gives basic (really basic) small business concepts, that relate to any small business like saying "Thank You" for your order. The balance of the book gives price lists and suggests additional books (also by Mary Roehr) to buy in order to do alterations or custom tailoring. There was nothing about starting a home dec business except that there are additional books to buy that will discuss how to measure and price for home dec.

Good starting point for those just entering the field with many helpful references, including: price lists, advertising, licenses, wholesalers (may be out of date on that list). Sample forms for your business. Easy to read and efficiently written.
