Summary: What else did you expect?
Review: I've run into some rather useful book in the series "For Dummies" but this book almost does honor to its name! And, honestly, what could you expect from Bob Nelson, the author of the "1001 Ways..." series of books? This book is not terrible, actually, but it really doesn't go into much depth. There are better titles to assist you in your pursuit of a self-employed career in consulting (just a simple search of the term "consulting" in Amazon will list a host of them), if you want to go beyond a casual reading sitting at a Barnes and Noble or Border's store, which is what I did with this title, to draw the conclusion that I now share with you. Beginning consultants of the world: consult elsewhere is my piece of advice!

Summary: More then adequte
Review: This book is a very good basic source of information for those who are giving serious consideration to entering the firld of independent consulting. The book is an easy read (thus the title!) and breaks down the decision making and getting started process into easy to understand, bite size pieces. There are certain sections that could be more in depth especially setting up your corporate structure and financial considerations. These important areas were hardly touched but have huge implications.
