5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Franchise Book on the Market, March 15, 2000

By	Eileen Lacerte (Mauna Kea, Hawaii) - See all my reviews

This is a big book and undoubtedly the best on the market for finding facts about franchises in general and any one franchise in particular. It is full of suggested web sites, but I found more information in this one book, on franchises, than I could gather from the Internet after surfing around for two weeks on the information highway. If you want to know the cheapest start-up costs for any franchise, one table shows them in order from the least expensive to the most. And there's similar tables for comparisons in franchise fees, franchise royalties, advertising royalties, and scads of others. And if you want to look up McDonald's, you find Burger King, Wendy's, and all the others compared together. Nothing has been on the market like this, in a book, that I've ever found, and I was in the franchise business for over ten years. It's better than the Bond book.

1.0 out of 5 stars DATED MATERIAL, April 3, 2002

By	Sandra Genova (Golden, CO USA) - See all my reviews

I had to return the book. The material was several year's old and thus very dated. The index was also in very bad shape. Many of the entries were not indexed properly making it diffcult to do research. This book needs a major update and a good copy editor to review it.
