 Great book full of information April 7, 2004

If you want to start an import/export business I would start with this book. Full of information, forms, websites, and government contacts to get you started within weeks. Great book, I'm looking forward to starting my own import/export business part time to start.
a great starting point September 29, 2008
BJC (Sydney)
This is a great starting point. The subject of import/export can be very complex, but this book is simple right to the core. Yes there are some lame jokes, but the information is solid and the book well researched, and is full of all the information you need to understand this area of business. The book makes for light and entertaining reading while you learn the core fundamentals, from there you are in a great position t move onto more advanced books on the subject. Recommended.

I love the Entreprenuer's web site and magazine so I snapped this book up. It's really a fireside reading and doesn't go into detailed action steps. You are better off going on the government's import export web site: http://www.itds.treas.gov/index.html

The authors of this book could not make up their minds "should this be a joke or serious book" their choice was to make serious subjects into a joke and thus made a truly worthless book. It got to the point where I was so upset at having to read 6th grade jokes (sorry 6th graders, you are probably much more clever) that any information was lost. You can learn as more about the import/export business by going to the store and reading shipping labels.
Another Book Not by an Author April 10, 2005

Why isn't there an author attached to this book? Just editors from this quick buck series. Do they have experience starting a import/export business? You can probably find everything in this book from google. Save your money.
