The advertising on the flaps for this book is very misleading - "Need help with a brand image and marketing?" "Want to ensure that you always make a profit?" I found very little on those topics in this book. The author at first seems to try to teach the reader to build but does it in so general a way as to give no real information. As she states throughout the publication, most information can be found on the Second Life Wiki and in the resident forums. For someone trying to start a business in Second Life, there are much better books available.
