Very informative. Many tips of how to negotiate online business. Actually borrowed this from the library and felt it was a book to keep. A necessary reference even after you are online.

I’ve just completed the book and found it to be helpful. Some of the material seems to me, a rehash of the late 90’s Internet nonsense but over-all, the book was good. I am buying a copy of it and recommend it to others. I know some other reviewers knocked the book but I have read only two others on the topic and this one is pretty good. It is thorough, covers most you would need to know and has interviews with some start-ups that have done well. I don’t agree that going on-line is a better resource as some reviewers have said; who has the time to surf all those sites, trying to locate the information. Read this book and others, you will be glad you did.

Good stuff! I looked through a lot of books to help me, new to ecommerce, get going. This book looked promising and was better than expected. Start here and you won’t go wrong. It helped me out a lot!

The only thing to be learned from this book is if you have a catchy title and access to bookshelf space, you can sell anything, even 414 pages of filler.
Among the pearls of wisdom is the advice that you can compare features of different computer brands by shopping at your local computer store. I’m not kidding!
I was so insulted by the banality of this book that I was moved to write this review.
