More Business, Less Gift Basket Oriented.......2006-01-02

This book does contain some good information about starting your own business as a majority of the information in the book is generalized business information such as business planning, bookkeeping and general marketing. However, I bought this book looking for specific resource information about gift baskets: how to find wholesale suppliers and how to make and package gift baskets. While the author does use some general references about gift baskets, the information is sparse and I was disappointed in the book overall for anyone looking for specific information on gift baskets.

A great foundation for your Gift Basket Business.......2003-08-06

This book has been most helpful to me since I am gathering information to join a self employment program (in the gift basket industry).
The information given in the book it is very clear and easily understood, with many examples, ideas and lots of helpful and important information.
I definitely recommend this book to individuals that are considering having their own gift basket business

Not Impressed.......2003-06-14

If you are looking for business management...ok
If you are looking for ideas on baskets..forget it

Not enough information on Gift Basket business........2001-07-31

This book is written for Canadian market on how to start any business.Very few inrmation on gift basket business. The book is very small and it does not address to the the needs of USA market. There is no list of USA or Canadian suppliers. It will need a lot of imprevement in the next edition.

The Best Book for the Gift Basket Business.......2001-06-20

Two years ago, I was curious about making my hobby of designing gift baskets into a home-based business. I had the creativity but the business aspect was eluding me. After reading this book--I now understand how to set prices, hire good employees, promote and run my business smoothly. After two years, I am a success in my small town and I'm ready to expand my business on to the Internet. Thankfully, this book has a section on Internet marketing. It is an easy-to-read book, with helpful examples and up-to-date information. I recommend it to anybody considering the gift basket business.

good, but brief.......2006-11-22

I checked this book out because I'm interested in the possibility of selling knit goods. I found it to be good as an introduction to craft business. It covers everything from selecting and producing crafts to places to sell and managing small business. However, it covered each topic very briefly, not getting into much detail. For an overview of craft business, it was good at getting me thinking about possibilities. If, however, I pursue the idea more seriously, I'll have to read more books, as this one would be rather insufficient alone.

Great Book for Craft People Looking to Sell Their Products.......2001-06-23

This book covers the A-Z of starting and running a craft business. It does not cover how to make crafts but it does give a long list of the types of crafts people can market. This book has helpful suggestions for beginners who want to start a craft business, as-well-as, seasoned professionals who want to expand or improve their craft business. The information in the chapters on production, getting loans, and market research are extremely helpful. Also included are helpful tips on how to pick the best craft shows. The author, William Hynes, shows his extensive knowledge of the craft business and shares his knowledge in an easy to read, straight-forward manner.

i bought this book and barbara brabec's book. They both have the same kind of information, but spend the extra $ for her book as she dedicates a few hundred more pages to these subjects.

MUST Be Good..........2005-08-20

I havn't read it yet, but it MUST be good, because my local library system had two copies, which are "lost." As a longtime patron and bookscout/seller, I know this really means STOLEN.

Since our library only charges a maximum of $6.00 for lost books, it's hardly a disincentive for thieves, unfortunetly for people like me. (When I wrote this, Amazon had no copies, and used copies are around $55.)

I will eventually buy a copy, and do a real review after that. Just thought I would add this tidbit.

Book of Treasures.......2001-06-22

This is a great book for those interested in antiquing, yard sales, flea markets, or just love the hunt for the perfect treasure. In Part I, the authors cover different types of collectibles: sporting goods, books, computers, clothes and more. In Part II, they discuss in depth, the business of owning a secondhand store as-well-as adding stories and tips from current secondhand store owners. I recommend this book for anyone who has even a slight interest in secondhand goods. If you want to sell treasures from home or rent/buy a secondhand store, this book covers it all. I found it easy to read and I picked up many useful tips for secondhand buying.

Start and Run a Profitable Secondhand Store.......2000-05-10

The book not only gives great business information but it gives the fun side of selling secondhand items, such as meeting new people and making money. After reading this book, it gave me the inspiration to continue with my dream to open a secondhand or resale shop which I'll be opening summer of 2000!
