Good book for starting a business. Should give more detail and elaborate on business aspects of small business…
Rating: 4 / 5
First of all this book is NOT geared toward the computer repair business as the Title on Amazon leads you to believe.
Secondly, the author is VERY NEGATIVE. He seems to be trying to discourage as many people as possible from starting a computer business. Every page is another story how things can (and probably will) go wrong. I can understand warning people not to get too optimistic, but this guy goes over the line!
Buy this book only if you want to get depressed and lose your excitement about starting a new business.

This book has 160 pages; 6 are blank, 8 have stupid cartoons on them, 19 are about building custom PCs (which virtually no-one does any more), 41 are about subjects on which Mr Rosenthal is no expert and about 6-10 are full of advice that is so trivial that you don’t need to be told it. So less than half of the book has potentially useful information.
There is useful information in there, but all in all there is only enough material for a series of magazine articles – not an entire book.
Rating: 2 / 5
The book was fine for a one-person start-up. It gave insightful information, but mostly full of generalizations. It didn’t assist much for what I wanted.
Rating: 3 / 5
To the point. No BS book
