The 2-Second Commute: Join the Exploding Ranks of Freelance Virtual Assistants

Christine Durst, Michael Haaren

Career Press, 2005

Excellent book!
If you could only buy one book about owning your own VA business, I would highly recommend this one! As there are multiple books on the subject in the marketplace right now, I would still highly recommend this one. This is the ONLY book you will ever need - well, maybe one on accounting principles if you don't know any & have no money to hire an accountant! But this book tells you EVERYTHING ...

Slick: A Novel

Daniel Price

Villard, 2004

"Slick" is best first novel since "Catch 22"-truly a "must read!"
Though a long time, avid reader, this is my first ever book review. I felt compelled to write it, as in my opinion none of the critiques I've read so far on Slick, while generally quite positive, seemed adequate in overall literary perspective. In terms personal impact, I could only compare "Slick" with Joseph Heller's "Catch 22." I read this at 18, and it remains in my top ten. Not that the ...

Derek Rydall

Michael Wiese Productions, 2005

The ONLY Book of Its Kind...A Great Way to a 6-Figure Income!
I really liked this book and I believe that there aren't any others like this one. It talks about how you can start a highly lucrative business as a script consultant and a re-writer. The only thing that makes me hesitant is the ease (or difficulty) in establishing credibility as a consultant if one hasn't written anything worth mentioning. Other than that, this is an incredible book and I ...

Working Alone

Murray Felsher

Berkley Trade, 1994

Outstanding, for a start...
I am a consultant, working by myself (president and chief bottle-washer) out of my home in suburban Baltimore. I've heard good things about this book, but was unable to locate a copy until last week. I was finally able to get a (used) copy of Working Alone, and having read it and believed it thoroughly, it has earned an honored spot atop my desk, and will remain there indefinitely. This is a ...

Ahava Press, 2008

Great intro so far...
I recently bought 2 books on Staging, since I'm currently wondering wether to pursue it as a new career. Right off the bat, this book is very inspiring in it's voice and the writer's accomplishments. I'm barely into it, but it's already gotten me back to feeling excited about the possibilities. As opposed to the other staging book i'm about to review, and ended up returning. The layout is like ...

2nd edition even better than first
I have the first edition and got the second edition immediaetly. With the second edition, Stanek has done a great job! This book is well written, easy to follow and concise, yet packed with lot's of useful information and hints and tips for Windows 2000. I consider myself a fairly expert Windows admin, but still learned quite a lot from this book. Like other Windows books that Stanek has written, ...

William R. Stanek

Microsoft Press, 2003

Excellent beginner to mid-level book
This is an easy to read book with the detail you would expect from a pocket consultant. The author doesn't waste time with the basic chit-chat and does a good job of laying out the useful material. Content includes initial setup, backup, performance monitoring/tuning and more advanced features such as registry and metabase settings. Advanced readers will eventually want to search for further ...

Sybex Inc, 2000

I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK !!
Overall this book was excellent. The only side of it that I didn't like is that a lot of the TAX/BUSINESS STARTUP information was directed to people living in the US (I figuered that before I purchased it anyhow). The book gets into detail and gives you some confidence in going in alone on this type of business. It's a good idea to read this book before you read others regarding this issue. ...

Niels H. Nielsen

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

Why Didn't I Think of This?
I have read a lot of job search, resume-writing and networking books in my time. I have given seminars on all these topics; and I think this approach gets to the heart of the matter! Why didn't anyone write this before? Well, most of us don't want to think about "selling" ourselves. The job search must be strategic as well as tactical. Considering the stress of looking for a job, thank ...

Samba: Integrating Unix and Windows

16 reviews
John D. Blair

Specialized Systems Consultants, 1998

Excellent! It's EASIER than you THINK!
Samba in a cinch. You pick up this book and within an hour you can have Samba running. There is really nothing to it. John Blair is a member of the Samba team, so he REALLY knows his stuff. He's also a remarkably good technical writer. All the details are here, and the index is great. If you need something that this book doesn't cover, then you're way beyond me! Have to setup Samba in a ...

All the legal tips, tricks and traps explained

Adventures of a Bystander

Peter F. Drucker Foundation for Nonprofit Management

Wiley, 1998

Meeting the people Drucker met
Instead of the usual self-focused auto-biography, Drucker introduces us to the people that have shaped him. Some are famous (Bucky Fuller, Marshal Mcluhan) some are not (his elementary school teacher). Some are good, some evil, but they are are worth meeting, especially through Drucker's eyes. A good read.

Essential Etiquette Fundamentals, Vol. 2: Wine Selection & Etiquette

13 reviews
Mike Lininger

Yellowstone Publishing, 2007

Excellent Resource For Novice Wine Drinkers
Although drinking good wine isn't difficult, learning about wine can be. Once on a winery tour a vintner explained that there are 15,000 different choices that can be made from grape to bottle. Sometimes picking out a wine can seem daunting. Food Scholar's Wine Selection & Etiquette does a superior job of teaching those of us who would like to learn more without the information being overkill. ...
