Most "how to" books (on any topic) are often boring and technical. This book was an easy and riveting read from cover to cover, and it managed to convey all of the important information that I need to get started on licensing my invention. It's great for giving you a thorough overview of licensing and patenting, from which you can take immediate action. It's also a good starting point if you want to move onto more technical (and unfortunately dry) sources of information. Since I am an Australian, a chapter with more of an international perspective would have been helpful.
