5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read! No fluff...just facts, February 15, 2009

By	Nikki Lee (Tucson, AZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Inventing on a Shoestring Budget (Paperback)

I have read several books on inventing and starting up a business and this is by far the best book I've read about the subject. Most books are packed with stories and a bunch of fluff but this book is strictly facts and information that every inventor needs to know. It covers everything from patents to finances and has so many money saving tips that I had never heard of before! I highly recommend this book and have it on my desk as a constant reference as I build my invention into a successful business.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-read Blueprint for all Inventors, January 31, 2008

By	Nick Romer "Author, Make Millions Selling on QVC" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Inventing on a Shoestring Budget (Paperback)

This book is a wealth of information and a must-read for anyone embarking on the journey of inventing. As the title suggests - this book addresses a problem that plagues many inventors - how to go about protecting and bringing a product to market with little or no finances. The information provided by these proven authors details the steps you need to take to make your dreams and ambitions a reality, along the way debunking myths like the "poor man's patent" (mailing your ideas in a sealed and dated envelope, page 48). If you have a great idea and looking for guidance, this is a sound blueprint clearly written from the point of view of experience and I highly recommend it.

This review is from: Inventing on a Shoestring Budget (Paperback)

This book has lots of useful information. The tips will more than pay for the book if you actively pursue marketing an invention. The coupons in the back alone will save many times the cost of the book if you use one or two of them.
