Format:Paperback
I bought this book, knowing that it was written for the American market, but we don't really have an equivalent in the UK. It is a very good guide to starting a photography business, but obviously there are some let downs on the legal side as it is not meant for UK/European photographers! However, if you are planning to start a business in UK/Europe and you can't find a book that covers the subject - this would be OK as a starting point. It's worth a look - especially at this price.

Good general overview
30 Aug 2000
Format:Paperback
Simply put, this an easy to read book for one considering entering the craft field as a business and not just as a hobby. Kenn discusses the pros and cons of such a decision and encourages one to think carefully before starting a home-based business. He outlines managerial, financial and marketing templates for the artisan. The material is exact and full of useful tips and pitfalls to avoid. Anyone starting a home-based business should read his steps and make sure to follow his processes.
The book is not written with an MBA viewpoint but rather from a down-to-earth and straightforward one. He uses his past experiences to help the business neophyte enter this exciting world. His advice is sound and the templates are practical for anyone starting a home-based business.
Regardless, this style leaves one wanting more craft specific details. While Kenn started his own craft business, it is not until the later chapters that there is craft specific advice. This book could do well for any home-based business. See his other titles for proof.
We had hoped that future editions would include all of the business templates in popular electronic formats like Word, Excel or better yet HTML; but still nothing. Finally, we really like the new updated web and internet tips. See http://www.ijudy.com/ for more details.

12 Dec 2002
Format:Paperback
in starting my craft business, this book proved invaluable. he covers how to tell if you are a good fit for a home-based business, how to set up your bookkeeping (the biggest help for me), and how to track and analyze your production processes. definitely recommended if you are thinking about moving from amateur crafter to gettin paid.
