Summary: A WORTHWHILE BUY
Review: I really enjoyed this book however I felt it should have included a section on how to put a gift basket together for those of us who don't have a clue. I still found the book to be very helpful and worth purchasing.

Summary: Completely misses the mark
Review: This book appears to have been written for individuals who do not possess even the most basic business/common sense. For example, here is a sample paragraph under the heading "Potential Clients":Where you locate may also determine the kind of customers you attract. For example, if you have a store in a low-rent area, you will not want to make and sell gift baskets that average $100 each; attracting the local audience would mean developing more economical baskets. . . . well duh! The book is full of simplistic information consistent with the above. The book also appears to have been written as a generic template (for other how-to books) with a few specific references to gift baskets. If you have considered starting your home-based business and at least conceptualized a feasibility plan, I'd recommend instead Shirley Frazier's, "How to Start a Home-Based Gift Basket Business".

Summary: This was a lousy investment.
Review: This book discussed the specific business of gift baskets very infrequently and was extremely outdated. There was no mention of the internet whatsoever and the use of a computer was virtually non-existent as well. It would have been nice to know how to set up inventory and manage bookkeeping through Excel, for example. I agree with the first review also--there was no information on exactly what labor and products are needed to put together a gift basket (other than the obvious gifts and basket). The title of this book should be "Start Your Own Fill-in-the-Blank".
