From the Author
Here is what readers say about my book: "Inside The Technical Consulting Business" gave me the information I needed to step out on my own after being told (at 55 years of age) that there weren't any projects for my talents, which wasn't true. Your book helped boost my confidence that I could make it as an independent consultant. --Lawrence King, letter
"Inside The Technical Consulting Business" is an outstanding book for anyone who is thinking of going into consulting. Harvey Kaye shares his experience as a practicing consultant in what works and what doesn't. This book will save the novice much time and grief on the way to a successful practice. --James A. Lacy, P.E., letter
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
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)
It is refreshing to find a book with as many clear and practical hints that can benefit consultants and non-consultants alike. --Clifford Sellie, Review in Industrial Engineering
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, Review in PV Voice Magazine
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
