From the Author
Comments received from reviewers and readers:
"The book is a good read because it is transparently honest and leaves little unsaid about the problems which are universal in setting up a consultancy." --Sir Frederick Warner Review in The Chemical Engineer (Great Britain) 12-86

"It is refreshing to find a book with as many clear and practical hints that can benefit consultants and non-consultants alike." --Clifford Sellie Reviewer in Industrial Engineering, 5-86

"Kaye's practical down-to-earth advice is presented in a very readable style. He explains his points well, using analogies, humor, and personal experience to illustrate." --Karen Olander Reviewer in PV Voice (Pioneer Valley Chapter of the American Society for Training and Development) 4-88

"I have never written to an author before, but your book is so outstanding that I felt obliged to write. . . I have been a computer consultant for twelve years. Based upon my own experience, I think your book is an accurate and valuable portrayal of technical consulting. You have made a major contribution toward making engineering a profession." --Ralph Moore, letter 9-04-87

"The advice in your book has helped me to deal with two prospective clients out of a very improved sense of purpose and confidence. Remarkable book!" --Paul Ogushwitz, letter 10-14-87

"I wish I had this kind of information and advice when I started in the consulting business eight years ago." --Bill Benson, letter 5-30-86

"I have just finished reading ... no, studying, your book. It is by far the most useful of many materials which I have been devouring recently." --Mike Lockwood, letter 7-09-92
