The title of this book suggests that it is directed towards the crafter just starting out, but the wholesale trade shows it focuses on are out of reach for me. I recommend it for anyone interested in mass production for wholesale buyers, but if beginning crafteres are anything like me, shows like this are completely out of reach at this point. I was hoping for a book that would help with the issues I’m dealing with on a day to day baisis – like trying to start my business from scratch with no capital except from pieces I sell here and there; most of which must go into supplies for the next piece I’ll sell, business cards, a good camera . . . etc. It’s a bit outdated as well, and someone should inform the author that some of us do in fact remember macrame. (like the millions of hemp artists out there)
