4.0 out of 5 stars Getting Started with RFID, January 27, 2005

By	Derek Kaufman (San Francisco, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"It was a great book! It explains what goes into an RFID printer to make it ready for today's carton-labelling mandates. It creates appreciation for the technology and it really helps to jumpstart your compliance team. The general RFID 101 information was very useful in educating other people within my Company."

There's nothing else like it--it's a one-of-a-kind book that's a well-organized primer on RFID. Packs a lot of useful information inside. The convenient size and format strike a superb balance between too little and too much information. Keep this handy guide handy for instant expertise.

"Excellent first book. If I was a supplier and told I needed to implement RFID, this book would be a tremendous help. It has great topics, it's easy to read, and it has a nice layout and graphics."
