According to The Complete Idiot's Guide to Making Money in Freelancing, some 20 million Americans currently earn their living primarily as freelancers, and another 10 million are scheduled to join them in the next six years. Lucky them: Despite her propensity for groan-inducing comparisons and analogies (for example, "you can find more hotel workers who like Leona Helmsley than freelancers who like spec jobs"), author Laurie E. Rozakis has compiled a fine and useful primer for novice freelancers. The opening chapters assist in assessing one's readiness for the freelance life--you get to go to work "in your jammies," but there are no gabfests around the water cooler, and no benefits. The ensuing chapters offer good, solid advice on such topics as starting your business, setting freelance rates, keeping financial records, preparing for retirement, and making the least of your taxes. --Jane Steinberg
