Format:Hardcover
I was hoping for really useful information that I wouldn't be able to figure out myself by browsing the site.

"Written by Americans for the hard of thinking."

I'm not impressed as page after page states the bleedin' obvious.

My advice: Go to Alibaba, use your common sense and have a dabble, ask questions and take the plunge. Start small and suss out your suppliers, get friendly with them and have fun.

Anyone who needs this book (I don't mean anyone who "Thinks" they need this book, that was me) shouldn't be in business. It is simplified, patronising and a very dull read.

That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

This book has a lot of basic information about Alibaba.com and if you are new to the website, it will help you gain some good insight. You can learn these by practically using the site, but the book is not a bad investment if you are looking to start using alibaba. It is however a bit monotonous to read.

Go from garage sales to China overnight. It's not that hard to buy from China and feel good about your tranactions. This book helps you avoid the pitfalls and rapidly take advantage of the opportunities worldwide.
