I discovered this book through the Vending Jackpot website and after reading the first chapter preview, I couldn't resist, I had to read the rest of it. This book is a very quick and easy read and it can definitely get the rookie vending operator off to a good start. The author includes a lot of helpful advice on how to start a business, how to find good locations, how to operate your business effectively, and a handful of other tips. This book certainly helped me get my vending business off the ground.

The reason this book does not get 5 stars:
If you are a highly educated person, this author's writing style may frustrate you. Ronnie Talent clearly did not get a college degree in written rhetoric, and it shows. The book is chocked full of unecessary, cheesy cartoon pictures that one might expect to find in a child's coloring book. That, along with his writing voice makes this book seem as though he was targeting an audience of 5th graders. If you're into that kind of literature, this is your book. I understand, some people like that kind of writing because it keeps things very simple. I'm just saying, if you want something a little more intellectually stimulating, look elsewhere.

I read The vending Jackpot and my first thought was this book is truly for vending novices. (im not a novice)
It didnt get me upset because i like simple reading! The book mainly encourages people to get started with the easiest form of vending on the planet, bulk vending! I say take the authors advice if you are scared to lose money on larger investments such as drink machines, jukeboxes, etc. Also always watch out for scams. They come in all types from scam financing, to selling bad ideas, to companies that change their phone number so dissatisfied customers cant reach them! By the way "Vending SUccess Secrets" by BILL WAY (AT AMAZON.COM) is a lot better and more in-depth

I just received my book today and I quickly browsed through the book. I was so happy, the format is so easy and fun and really keeps you interested in whats next in each chapter. Great book for the beginner and also so much insight into the world of vending. Another plus about this book is that the author gives out company names, addresses, phone #'s etc. for supplies, machines, etc. Would recommend this book definitely.
