DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK IF YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO SCREEN PRINT !! First off, half of the book is just an outdated appendix of screen printing suppliers (information you can google for free in an instant) The rest of the information on the actual screen printing process is VERY vague and there are no real descriptions or step-by-step illustrations. The book is really all about promoting a company called homecashbusiness, that sells screen printing supplies and screenprinting start-up packages. The book also looks very amateurish (cover is blurry from low-resolution printing and the layout/text is not done by a professional graphic designer)

Buy "Print Liberation" or the classic "How to Print T-Shirts for Fun and Profit" if you want to learn this business...

Save your money! Not a good book to start with or at all - shows little about the process of screen printing, nothing about starting a business and seems more of an add for the company that sells screen printing equiptment(Home Cash Business). Put your money into another book. It's to bad that I can not give a negative star for this book or I would have!

This book was a waste of money. I had already read "How to print T-shirts for fun and profit" and was looking for another good screen printing book when I stumbled across this one. It looked good so I bought it but it is just a very quick and basic overview of the process, it doesn't get deep at all. There are 7 chapters spanning just 37 pages of a 114 page book! The final chapter (7) is on sales and is just 2 pages long, I think that's funny considering the book is entitled "Start Your Own Screen-Printing Business". Save your self and buy "How to print T-shirts for fun and profit" instead, it's not known as the screen printing bible for nothing.

There is a list of suppliers in this book but there is a better list in "How to print T-shirts for fun and profit"

Save your money on this book. It is a glorified printed version of their website. Very little helpful information and if you have looked over their website (HCB) you have already read the book.
Their are many other books far more helpful than this one.

If you are looking for information on screen printing there are many "FREE" sites on the web that can give you better information than this book. I wasted my money on the book, then purchased a starter package from them and wasted even more money. Their customer service is terrible! After sitting down and surfing the web I felt stupid. The book tells you absolutely nothing! I found several online t-shirt forums that gave me more information than this book gave so anyone wanting to get into this business, look around the web for the many forums that offers a vast of information from people working in the industry for free! DON"T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS BOOK!

Unfortunately, this book is absolute garbage. By surfing the web and hitting any of the many screen printing message boards, you can get the same information for free. Among my complaints:

1) More than half the book is an outdated compendium of screen-printing product cuplly companies.
2) The information in the book in regards to the actual process of screen printing is cursory at best.
3) There is no real discussion on equipment (what do buy, where to buy, etc.) or how to actually use it.
4) The section in regards to inks should be ripped up and burned. It is outdated.
5) The sales section is a joke.

The only people who are making money off of this book are the authors. Good for them.

This book is garbage. I am glad that I purchased it used rather than new. Garbage.

This book is poorly written and not at all useful. Do not waste your time or money. There's a book that is about 1000 times better called 'How to Print T-Shirts for Fun and Profit'. How to Print T-Shirts for Fun and Profit

the book was new but i tought it would a little bit better. it is mostly references to other stuff. not a good book to to me. read it from cover to cover in 15 min.

After I read the book I got the stuff to burn a screen and did it.
Then I called these guys in the book and they helped me get the money to get started printing by having me sell a 300 shirt order. I did it and in a couple of weeks I filled the order and I was in biz.
Thanks HCB and Charese.

I love this book! "Start Your Own Screen Printing Business" From Homecashbusiness and charese mongiello it is so basic and easy to read. It is a fast start book and got me printing within a week plus I was able to call charese's company homecashbusiness and they helped me with any silkscreening questions I had for free. this book was worth more than the $9.00 I paid for it. Thanks so much for all your help charese and Homecashbusiness I look forward to reading that other book "How to Print Shirts for fun and Profit"!
