Product Description An updated edition of the essential insider's resource. For the experienced collector or someone embarking on a new hobby, this newly revised and updated edition of Book Finds reveals the secrets of locating rare and valuable books. Includes information on first editions and reader's copies, auctions and catalogs, avoiding costly and common beginner mistakes, strategies of professional "book scouts," and buying and selling on the Internet. Customer reviews How to make Money  by .. Hegelian (Concord, MA USA)
This guide treats books like commodities to be bought and sold to make money. Almost the entire focus is on the BIG money you can make scouting books. It reminds me of those no-money-down real estate seminars where you can supposedly learn how to make BIG money! (Drop me in any city and give me a map marked with bookstores and a $5 bill and I will have a $1,000 the next day!) The author brags about how much he made by buying such-and-such a book and selling it across town for three times as much. In one case (he refers to it twice, actually) he made enough on one book to take "a vacation to Europe." If you love books, this is not for you. If you love money, you can probably make more in a different activity. Incidently, values seem exaggerated throughout.
Very thorough  by .. Shawn Hazen (Chicago, IL USA)
The cover is misleading: it looks like it will be about antiquarian books. But it's actually about modern firsts, so more recent, jacketed-type books. If that's what you're into, this book is great. It covers everything from how the publishing industry works to the all-important detective skills required to identify a real first edition. And a lot of super-arcane details in between. It even mentions in passing a lot of authors and titles that I've never read, so it was a great way to discover new reading material. There's also a lot of ground covered regarding "scouting" and selling books, which will be super-practical for people going down that road.
Outdated by .. Chris Robert (Torrance, CA)
Without more extensive coverage of the internet marketplace, this book can only be considered out-of-date. For the most part, the kind of selling and trading presented here no longer exists as a profitable endeavor.
Without peer  by .. Paul Bogosian (Birthplace of Vermont)
The author loves his work and shares that love and knowledge in an immediately understandable way.
Book Finds, 3rd Edition: How to Find, Buy and Sell Used and Rare Books by .. Shirley A Hickey (Green Bay, WI)
Excellent book for either the new seller or those already doing so. Information included is useful to help become an even better seller.

Customer reviews Fabulous guide by .. S. Laubengayer (Oregon/Florida)
I purchased this for my great niece who just moved to New York. I've
bought Mr. Frank's book in past editions, probably 3. He comes out with
a new book every year. When some girl friends and I went to N.Y. I bought
the '84 edition, eventually the '87 and "89 editions. They were our Bible
and everything we tried from the book lived up to Mr. Frank's recommendations. So I thought my great niece should have a copy also.
She said the day it arrived she stayed up until 3 a.m. reading it.

Customer reviews Very helpful and informative by .. Don A. Deisheron (Modesto, CA)
This is a wonderful book that saved me countless dollars and hours in helping me figure out how the best way was to make my newly acquired 'fixer-upper' a dream home.
Unless you are an absolute beginner, don't waste your money! by .. ()
Robert Irwin writes in general terms about things that are common sense to anyone who knows a screwdriver from a hammer. This book is strictly for someone that has not even purchased a house before. One last note; If you do buy this book, buy it from Amazon.com because it cost me four dollars more at my local book store!
Excellent guide to buying and rehabbing a fixer-upper. by .. ()
This is a step-by-step guide to buying and rehabbing a handyman's (or woman's) special. Real estate expert Robert Irwin shows you how to decide if you're the right person for the project.

Product Description condensed pocket edition (restaurants only) Customer reviews This guy knows what he's talking about. by .. J. Hill (Beaverton, Oregon)
Gerry Frank is a local boy (Portland, OR) and keeps us informed about where to go in Oregon, but he also knows "all the right stuff" about New York. He is definitely a man to follow when it comes to finding a great restaurant and more.
Overrated  by .. Alyssa A. Lappen (Earth)
We bought an early edition of this book, and have found it wanting. Yes, there were some good shopping recommendations. But the ratings for restaurants and many other points of interest are just not that good.
The Blue Guide to New York is a much better bet, for my money, particularly given the book's inclusion of establishments long closed--or destroyed by terrorists.
My Bible for every trip to NYC by .. JE Johnson (Pacific NW)
The 'List by Item' at the front of the store and restaurant chapters is invaluable. The boxed tidbits make this guide book easier and more enjoyable to read. With the changing of NYC the author's suggestion of calling a business before a visit sure makes sense.
gerry frank's new york by .. John H. Miller Jr. (Lancaster PA)
fantastic book for anyone visiting or living in NYC. the only drawbacks are (1) the absence of any subway map and (2) use of the index to refer back to specific items in the book itself i,e, it's all in there, you just have to work to find it.
Gerry Frank's where to find it, buy it, eat it in New York  by .. M. G. Hartmann (NY USA)
I purchased the 2006-2007 edition of the book and am shocked to discover that it still includes New York's Finest French Cleaners & Tailors, three gnerations of the same family operating this quality business. The author hasn't bothered to update this edition. The business was sold to Orientals 2 years ago and service is no longer acceptable. The author has absolutely no credibility with regard to anything else listed in the book. I could list many more entries that are invalid. I guess all he does is slap a new cover on the book. This tells you all you need to know about the reliability of this guide - and the ethics of its author.

Customer reviews Not everything you need to know by .. ()
This is not everything you need to know to buy a business, it's not even close. This is a bird's-eye view of buying a business. I would recommend Yegge's books over this one. There you will learn not only the process, but also valuation techniques.
Spend you money elsewhere by .. ()
I'm an individual looking for a book to help me with my first purchase of a small business. I bought this book and read it from front to back and I did not find it helpful at all. I cannot think of one single useful thing that this book taught me. It practically didn't uncover anything that I hadn't already thought of. I assumed it would be full of invaluable information that only a experienced person that has purchased business before would know, but it isn't. It is a total disappointment. I would consider it a 100% waist of time.
A Knock-Off by .. ()
Disappointing. I found this book to be a knockoff of Richard A. Joseph's earlier book, "How To Buy A Business" (Publ. 1994) - which I recommend over this. This book (Business Buyer's Kit) does appear to have some seemingly original value in the "Checklist" appendices at the book's end. Although somewhat simple and limited, they do provide the novice a basis for getting organized and doing research. For my money, Richard A. Joseph's, "How To Buy A Business", is a better value.
Excellent Place to Start for Buying a Business by .. ()
This book goes from A to Z. It has some great checklists and provides some very good information to consider when buying a business. There were a few areas I wish the author had gone into a little more detail, but overall it gave me some great ideas.
Exactly as promoted by .. ()
This is not a heavy reading book and deffinetly gives you the basics to understand the process of buying a business. The checklist was the most informative and helpful section. A good first time read to wet your feet in the business of buying a business.
