3 out of 5 stars Good book, with some caveats here.......2003-06-18

I was given this book by a family member a year and a half ago after I quit my then-current (and miserable) job. I had never even thought about working for myself, but after reading the book, decided to work up the courage to try it. The book gives some detailed planning on how to go about starting several different types of businesses - from small moving services to tree removal - using one's van or truck.

I enjoyed the book and even made some decent money following the steps in it, but the author left out some important details in the process. For example, starting a moving business isn't as easy as just hopping in your van and moving people. As I came to find out later, in NJ, where I was working, functioning as a legal moving company of any kind requires one to have a state license and insurance (three different kinds, actually, as I was told by the state movers and warehouseman's board). And no, it ain't cheap. If you don't want to get dropped by your automotive insurance company for using your personal auto policy for business work, you need to get commercial auto insurance, too. Again, not cheap. These details are glossed over in the book. The author says to not worry initially about all the potential red tape associated with starting such a business and just hop right in and do it. Not smart - imagine moving potentially expensive items, getting into a crash and having no cargo insurance to cover the cost of replacing the items. You'd be screwed.

There are plenty of guys in NYC running "moonlight" moving companies, under the radar of the legal state authorities. I'm sure some of them have even read this book. My advice - read the book for the suggestions it offers to get you started, but do your homework and find out how to run the business legally. You'll be better off in the long run.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding no BS guide to starting a business.......2002-12-06

This book is a true gem. So many books on starting a business of your own are filled with fluff and pie in the sky pseudo-motivational junk. Not this one. It describes a business virtually anyone in reasonably good health can start for very little capital. The work is hard, but the pay is good, and you learn everything you need to know to start working for yourself. Outstanding and highly recommended.

        A labor strike in a Japanese silk factory may not seem like a promising premise for a novel, but Yukio Mishima manages to turn an historical event into a fictional exploration of Japan's old paternalistic system of labor management. The strike Mishima writes about occurred in the 1950s, and the outcome changed the face of business forever, as factories moved from an ancient, almost feudal way of dealing with workers to the modern method of worker participation. Mishima faithfully chronicles the conditions that plagued the factory workers--censored mail, internal spies, poor pay that was nevertheless just enough to keep discontent at bay--and the coalescence of the labor movement that eventually changed them.

        3 out of 5 stars No wonder it wasn't translated sooner.......2004-03-19

        This book was apparently the reason for a falling-out between Mishima and his translator-to-be-biographer John Nathan, and after reading this tardy translation it's easy to see why. Mishima got lazy, and it's difficult to believe that he really thought this was his best work. It seems instead like he wrote it just for the sake of writing something. It is apparent from it that he was a writer of skill and experience: the characters behave consistently, their motivations are developed, the events are grounded by believable scenery and the story is evenly paced - but it's just lifeless. Mishima doesn't seem to care about any of the characters, there are no memorable scenes (like the festival in Thirst For Love) or interesting ideas, and the resolution offers no fresh perspective on the issues involved. The strike itself is practically glossed over. The only parts I enjoyed were the ones involving Okano and his complex cynical philosophy, especially near the end, but this could have stood to be developed more, instead of the motivations of the other characters. Although Nathan missed out on translating the Sea of Fertility by refusing to translate Silk and Insight, I really can't blame him.

        3 out of 5 stars Uneven........2002-08-15

        I'm not too sure what Mishima was trying to do with this one. Yes, it _is_ the story of a strike, technically speaking...except the strike really doesn't take up that many pages. In fact, it barely takes up any. Society's response to it is outlined sketchily at best, the details of it aren't shown much concern for, and for most of its duration it is located offscreen, out of the writer's focus. The summaries are misleading - the effects of the strike and of unions on Japanese culture are, in fact, never discussed at all. Don't expect a Japanese Germinal here.

        The novel works much better as a character study of Komazawa Zenjiro, the owner of the company in which the strike occurs. I'm thinking that must have been Mishima's true purpose, seeing as every chapter title starts with Komazawa's name. Komazawa is a man who lives quite firmly in the past, and tries to adapt the ways of the past to this modern world. (This bears more than a slight parallel to Mishima himself.) His quasi-religious faith in those ways is poignant, and though he clearly has the author's sympathies, Mishima has admirably chosen not to whitewash his faults - Komazawa's hypocrisy, his occasional pointless cruelty and his refusal to even try to understand anything not in the scope of the old ways are all highlighted quite clearly.

        However, a good character study does not a good novel make, and the other characters seem, to put it nicely, "unfinished." Otsuki, the strike leader, has precious few appearances to put in for such an important role, and his only motive for what he does, according to the author, is an almost childish chagrin at Komazawa's separation of him from his girlfriend. He seems like more of a plot device than a character. More frustrating, though, is the fact that this novel has many potentially fascinating characters that it simply chooses not to develop. Take the ex-geisha Kikuno, for instance, whose motives are never made anything approaching "clear" - does she love Komazawa? What is the source of her admiration of him? Why did she even want to quit being a geisha in the first place? Or what about the ominous intellectual Okano, who is depicted as a Machiavellian scheming sort of man, but is never given (and never gives) any rationalization for his actions? Did he do what he did solely out of mischief? Was he motivated by financial concerns? What about Komazawa's wife Fusae, who seems to have a (similarly unexplained) martyrdom complex? All these are things Mishima could really have taken some time to flesh out.

        As it is, the novel's an often interesting portrait of a very specific type of person, but that's about it. It could have been more. If you're a fan of Mishima, you are of course going to read this, but if this is your first contact with his work, I doubt it will impress you enough to make you delve into the rest of his oeuvre.

        4 out of 5 stars Interesting overview of labor relations.......2000-11-15

        While I had heard of Mishima for years, I had never actually sat down with one of his books. This book takes an intimate look at a silk production factory; in which the working conditions are so deplorable that the overworked employees finally go on strike.

        What makes this book so interesting is Mishima's ability to flesh out all his characters. He does not fall into the simplistic "worker=good/boss=bad" trap, Mishima enjoys creating morally ambiguous characters. First, Komazawa-san, the company president, appears to be very hard working and inspiring to his employees. However, as I read about the horrible working conditions within the company, I found myself rooting for Otsuki-san, the strike leader. As Mishima continues to dig deeper into his characters' psyches, revealing their ethical blindspots, I discovered that no one is completely good or evil. How the protesters conscript other workers to join the strike, and how Komazawa-san's deteriorating self image reveals his pitiful humanity, make for very compelling reading.

        The use of a strike situation is a wonderful crucible in which to combine all these differing emotions, motivations, and deceptions; resulting in characters on both sides of the picket line who are forever changed (scarred?) by the whole experience.

        You may not be able to look at silk the same way again.

                  The book is a good intro, but is significantly out of date. Get the book to determine if you really want to get into NERO Live Action Role Playing. Then Go to the Nero homepage and find a local chapter, visit that website to find which playtests are in use. Return to the NERO site to download the playtests in use to update or suppliment the info in the book.
                  It's worth the runaround.
                  Then Find Tanar and Crogar in the market sometime.

                  I found that the content was intriquing, but that the amount of fluff in the book was a bit overboard. The rules themselves have too many loopholes as well as contradicting eachother at times. The creativity was excellent and sparked the imagination to ponder new and interesting things.

                  5 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource.......2005-06-21

                  I use Word 2003 every day. But I still don't know everything. When I have even the slightest problem, I don't have time to look through those thick and wordy text books.

                  This little book is a simple yet comprehensive desk reference book. The directions are hands-on and user friendly. The text is readable and well organized. The visuals are clean and fully support the instructions. I have learned some very useful tips and shortcuts that have saved me a lot of time and frustration. This book is an excellent resource for both office and home.

                      2 out of 5 stars Helpful for a complete beginner.......2000-03-25

                      Bought the book hoping there would be detailed information for blueprinting a 4 cycle engine. Although it does give some suggestions & hints at what is needed, it does not go into depth on any subject. A complete beginner who knows nothing about 4 cycle engines might find this slightly helpful, most anyone with much experience with 4 cycle engines would probably find the information contained in the book "old news".
