I need help with the pricing, sales and marketing aspects, for those of you who have read the book, do you think it is helpful for these types of things?

(i'm sitting in a starbucks where people are lined up to buy $5 cups of coffee. i feel strongly the time and energy i took to put my experiences down on paper worth more than a couple days worth of caffeine.) my experience is that most gift business newbies make the same expensive mistakes and i’m pretty sure reading about my experiences will save most readers at least the cost of the book.

I think ultimately, we can learn from her mistakes as well as her opinions. It has never occurred to me to buy her book, I feel like I can get all the info. I need from her blog.

It's difficult for me to read anything of that length on the computer and preserving the copy makes my $20 worth it!I enjoyed reading it and found it motivational, but I also enjoy Barsky's writing style.

I haven't read it myself. However I will say that your common sense might not be someone elses :) Fair enough. I haven’t read it myself.

I have to say, while I really like Pamela's work and certainly respect her efforts--I've never written 83 pages of anything--I'm kind of disappointed in this, and I'm a little bummed I spent $20 on it.
