    This book was everything I hoped for

    I had the dream of working for home and didn't know where to begin. Following advice "do what you love" I had decided on selling books, which I absolutely love. I stumbled across this book and decided to take a chance. It was a great decision and helped me to launch my ebay business. I highly recommend this book, the information and advice is so specific, useful and easy to implement. This book outlined exactly how to begin and build a home based business selling books online. Everything you could possibly need to get started is written in an easy to follow format. One month after reading this book and I have launched my ebay store and have never been happier. This book is sure to be a resource that I will also make use of as my business grows.

    Guide to Your Online Book Selling

    I bought this book because my own book selling hobby has been very busy lately and I am seriously thinking of expanding. I need some good advice and this book gave me exactly the information I need to understand the online bookselling market. It confirmed some things I have learned in my limited experience and also focused me on where to make improvements. Steve Weber obviously loves books and has been successful in his business which started very modestly. This little gem will help you profit from his experience and save you from making mistakes. The book was short enough to read in a day but full of information to keep on hand for future reference.

    You can't do better. Take it from a fellow bookseller!

    As a seller who is always looking to up my learning curve, I have bought nearly every book on the subject out there. Some are okay but none of them are as well-rounded or contain such complete info as this one, including where to find books, what to buy and what to avoid...but also valuable tips on organizing your inventory, saving time, maximizing profits. In short, he IS a seller and is generous enough to share what he has learned with others. The extra knowledge I got has helped me to increase my profits and I assume most readers would like to do that as well. I find selling fulfilling and I love books but I'm can't live on that alone. Without profits, I'd just be another struggling seller. Weber shows that it is not only possible to sell books but actually to make a living doing ...

    Good introduction

    Simple format with plenty of good information. Some specifics somewhat out of date. Overall, a good value for those considering their own enterprise.
