This book is incredible - it is packed full of how to information that would have taken me a long time to find elsewhere (and I think I am shrewd when it comes to tracking down information). The writing is encouraging and upbeat and the CD-ROM that is included with the book has many excellent forms including a sample contract I have used with my clients. If someone would have told me a few years ago that I could make a living shopping I wouldn't have believed it but this book gave me the insight I needed to do just that - highly recommended!
