This review is from: The Small Business Start-Up Guide (Paperback)

I bought the 2nd edition of this book and found it to be absolutely priceless. The large amount and depth of information provided was just what I needed to get me started with my own small, home-based business. Now the 3rd edition has been printed and I bought it also. It contains a lot more information, especially about the internet, which is where my main focus now lies.
