User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars If you’re thinking or wishing to sell your crafts……
I totally recommend this book. I bought 4 books in all and the only ones I’m reading are the two books I bought by Barbara Brabec!
5 Stars Four and a half stars, Overall Great Book!
I bought this book a while back and have turned to it so many times. It’s such a fantastic resource to have. I would definitely recommend it for any crafter starting up a business.
The reason I say 4.5 stars is because my only qualm about this book is the index in the back isn’t very helpful. It’s not detailed enough, so sometimes when I’m trying to find a very specific topic it takes some time searching.
4 Stars A Great Resource to Get You Started!
I used this book as I was launching my creative business and found it to be straightforward, easy to use, and no-nonsense. The Q & A format was great and the indexing was very complete and thorough. A lot of technical information was covered in a simple style but with enough completeness to help me take the needed next steps in the development of my business. This book is a great resource to keep on hand for the every day business questions that come up when you are just getting started and your learning curve is exponential!
5 Stars Nice reference book
This book provides a lot of useful information needed when starting a new business. I plan to keep this book as a reference. What is nice is that you can look for a specific subject and not have to scan paragraph after paragraph to find what you are looking for.
4 Stars Duplicate Information
This is a very good resource. It is easy to use and read. However, do not also purchase “The Craft Business Answer Book and Resource Guide” by the same author. The cover is different, and the description makes it sound as though it contains different information, but it is basically the same book.
