Summary: An Indispensible Practical Gem!
Comment: This book was far beyond my expectation. It is not simply just a book on giving advice of how to start small, it is a book that teaches you all facets of how to build a business from the ground up! Not only that, it does so systematically, pointing out the advantages and disadvantages in a straight forward manner. No sound bytes, no big words, and no hype. This book is like having a no-nonsense advisor by your side every step of the way. Please browse through the table of contents. There aren't a lot of books that tell a beginner what to look out for if you are looking for a partner or what to look out for when you are paying your creditors, to name only a couple. For a budding entrepreneur who wants sound and practical advice, this book is a must read.

Summary: A bit dry, but full of invaluable advice
Comment: This book is a great source of inspiration for those who have big ideas of starting a business but not much money to do it with.
The author talks about negotiating loans and credit from suppliers, buying fixtures, decorating the interior of your business cheaply, the importance of incorporating, the importance of a good business plan, and a ton of advice on how to keep your business alive during the beginning stages when money is tight.
I found the book to be, well, boring in places - but the information held within was worth working through those parts.

Summary: Finally, an author that takes a stand!
Comment: Unlike the reader from Alaska I was happy to finally find a small business book that took a stand and gave specific advice (i.e., incorporate! don't buy new fixtures! etc.) rather than just information on all the different ways one can do something.

In addition to having much practical advice about how to start a business with limited funds, Starting on a Shoestring's matter-of-fact tone and plentitude of rags-to-riches examples make this a great motivational book as well.
