Momo "AmazonShopper" (Arizona) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Start Your Own Florist Shop and Other Floral Businesses (Start Your Own Florist Shop & Other Floral Businesses) (Paperback)

This book was filled with vague information about owning and operating a shop, presented almost exclusively from the author's life experience. It read more as an autobiography than as a how-to-master something book. There was little concrete information offered. Frankly, nothing in this book isn't available using simple internet searches and nothing was specific enough to start any sort of business.

Having said that, for someone not trying to open a floral business, this might be a fun Saturday afternoon read into the life & times of a florist.
