I recommend this book. It is very detailed, informative and well-written. I have owned my own solo graphic design business, which I run from home, for 3 years. The first part of this book would have been great for me when starting up, the second half is good for me now. If you don’t know already, you can get podcasts, toolkit and weekly informative newsletters online free along at [. . . ]. This will whet your appetite if you cannot order this book now, or to use while waiting for it to come in the mail. (Cover design excuse: It is part of Self Counsel Press Business Series. )
