I found this book very informative. It also helps that it’s not from just one person’s experience or perspective, but many different people with many points of view. These people have great insight and ideas on all sorts of aspects of business – no matter what your particular product may be. This book is chock full of inspiration and sound business sense that will have your home based craft business up and running.
