5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Book! Best I've ever read, July 17, 2008
By Mad (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Million-Dollar Idea in Everyone: Easy New Ways to Make Money from Your Interests, Insights, and Inventions (Paperback)
My introduction title says it all. Never have I read a book with as much hands on, useable information as I've read in this book. Other enterpreneural books are laden with too much "pop psychology speaking optimism, keeping your chin up, never taking no for an answer". This is the first book I've read that contained information that I could acutally use, nearly on every page. Great job Mike. Please put out another one. I'll be the first at the bookstore.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a Complete Guide for the Inventor, April 29, 2008
This review is from: The Million-Dollar Idea in Everyone: Easy New Ways to Make Money from Your Interests, Insights, and Inventions (Paperback)
Just finished reading Mike Collin's book and have to say he did a great job! I wish it had been available when I first started inventing. It would have saved me a lot of hardship and time. It is filled with great insight and common sense tools that every Inventor can use.
I have read a number of other Inventor help type books and always felt that they just didn't give the reader any useful information. Mike's hit the nail on the head with great information and personal experiences, not only by himself, but other Inventors. This book is a winner!

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended for anyone who has had an idea they didn't run with., September 23, 2008
This review is from: The Million-Dollar Idea in Everyone: Easy New Ways to Make Money from Your Interests, Insights, and Inventions (Paperback)
I picked this book up as a curiosity, because like everyone else, I've seen new gadgets, shops and web sites that I had casually considered previously. This book is a great read for anyone who has had the same notion, but thought the process is probably too difficult - I've learned it's not! The author presents a step-by-step method for getting involved with the innovation process on several different levels, depending on the amount of available time and level of commitment. Written very clearly with lots of examples, hints and sources.
