5 out of 5 stars Small Business Sourcebook (SBS) is a Gale Group publication.......2001-04-03

This is an excellent starting point to put your business plans into motion. Let SBS help you to achieve your small business goals. The geographical scope of SBS encompasses the U.S. and Canada and contains a master index that precedes both volumes.

The arrangement of this reference source is divided into four sections in two concise volumes: Small Business Profiles, Topics in Small Business, State Listings, and Federal Government Assistance.

Generally, if topics aren't specifically related to small business, they are not included. This is a handy source of information for business owners, managers, operators, and entrepreneurs, and one that provides one-stop-shopping. There are over 330 small business profiles that act as a kind of industry insider guide.

For example, you own a bookstore and have an idea or business plan to open a gourmet coffee/tea house or to add a computer store within that establishment. Suppose you have an idea to open a small business in the swimming pool/hotub industry. Information can be found in SBS regarding licensing for a new business, fees, contacts, and state listings that will also include the chamber of commerces of each location.

If you want to find a consultant, a seminar, a convention, or trade show related to your business' interests, it will be in SBS. Where can you find government funding for a minority owned business? What about women owned businesses? This source is the best starting point because it also lists special libraries and resource centers specific to each subject in the area of small business.

Entrepreneurs use SBS to find the criteria they must meet to receive federal government assistance programs. Entries are arranged numerically and are easy to use. Sometimes licensing issues and fees vary from state to state and often ask for different prerequisites. The Small Business Sourcebook is a reference tool that all small business owners ought to familiarize themselves with.

This source can be rated as a highly reliable source of information that has been carefully compiled, gathered and disseminated. The Gale Group has produced a source that is highly recommendable. Small Business Sourcebook is a standard reference book in most public libraries as well as a standard in such special libraries related to business, can be found in business resource centers, and in top business school libraries.

                          We all hear about how networking is the most important way to get a job, but this book tells actually tells you how to do it! Just what I needed, and I plan to use it from now on.

                          4 out of 5 stars Find out what NETWORKING really is.......2005-07-01

                          It changed my view of NETWORKING. I regret that I have not read this book before, while I was working, when I started looking for a change.
                          And I am applying this ot may daily activities, even outside job searching.
                          Easy read, easy material. Also, interesting tips to explore yourself about your interests.

                          Jointly with Winning Job Interviews and Everything Job Interview (read my review there) make a 3 pieces of work that every job seeker must read.

                          5 out of 5 stars Packed with Knowledge!.......2004-03-02

                          This is an excellent book. Author Michael Salmon wastes no words, but provides a series of tips, questionnaires, checklists and exercises that will help everyone, even the most introverted, build a network productively and use it effectively. There is no fluff here, and minimal self-promotion. The book is mostly meat. The author is extraordinarily well organized and to the point. His advice on how to categorize relatives, friends and acquaintances may seem cold, but it is indispensable. Similarly, he recommends becoming a resource to others so that they may someday become a resource to you - a utilitarian and self-serving approach to human relations, but if you have no other reason to help people, this is not a bad one. One quibble: the book is repetitious and illustrates the hard truth with soft little imaginary anecdotes. That's more a fault of the genre than of the author. If you are in job search mode, We highly recommends this book to you. As the folks back home might say, write when you get work.

                          4 out of 5 stars Need a job? This is how you'll get it.......2004-02-15

                          if you found "What color is your parachute?" badly organized and abstruse, if "How to get a job in 30 days or less" struck you as taking too long, you'll be able to use this. Focusses almost not at all on the questions "So what do you want to do with your life?" but gives you exactly how to go about meeting the people who know where the jobs are, what to say when you meet them (important if you're shy like me), and how to keep track of it all.

                          This is a wonderful cookbook with easy to follow recipes. The book definitely takes advantage of the fruits and vegetables that are available throughout the year. There are a variety of recipes to choose from and the ones I've gotten the best reviews from are the crab dip, carrot cake, and clam chowder. My only complaint about this book is that many of the recipes are very heavy and involve using cream, sour cream, cream cheese, butter, mayonaise, etc. Not the healthiest of ingredients, but the food sure does taste good.

                          I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to cook or even for people that are just learning to cook. The recipies vary from very simple to some that are more complicated. It is a beautiful cookbook and suitable to give as a gift. I have tried many of the recipies in it and have loved each of them. I love cookbooks and this is by far one of my favorites!

                          5 out of 5 stars Finally! A Trading Methodology That Stands Up to Backtesting.......1999-07-21

                          Event Trading certainly stands out in the increasingly crowded arena of investment books . As a professional trader with over 5 years in the futures markets it is a pleasure to come across a methodology that is backed up by rigorous statistical testing that the reader can duplicate. It is also refreshing to find an entirely new approach to trading, one that is not a rehash of technical analysis indicators or a review of interpreting economic fundamentals. Event Trading differs from most of the existing books in this field. All rules are fully disclosed and mechanical. The reader is not presented with any "squishy" interpretations of market activity - this is not Elliot Wave! The performance each system includes the full spectrum of all trades taken . Far too many books show only the periods where their systems excelled, conveniently excluding periods of poor performance. I have definitely found the ideas presented to be both novel and applicable in the futures markets. If you want to survive as a trader it is critical to have a methodology that you verify with historical testing and implement according to your testing. Event Trading will give you this edge.

                          1 out of 5 stars University Term Paper Goes Big Time.......1999-07-09

                          What stands out most about this book is the large print that does not fill the pages. It could have easily been half the length. That said once you distill all the information down to pertinent theories what you are left with is something more worthy of submission to 'Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities' as a two pager. The authors theory is very simple and straight forward. It's hard to believe that an entire book has been written on such a narrow subject/theory. The bulk of this text is merely examples of the theory that are applied across different markets. I finished this 214 page term paper in under 1 hour. If my highliter had not graced the first few pages it would have found it's way back in postal system. Save your money.

                                This is a very hot topic in Washington right now with a new President and Congress vowing to "do something" about the estate tax. I don't think most Americans are aware that after they die, the government can claim up to 55 percent of their estate -- and that the taxes are due in cash within nine months! In many cases, that can mean the forced liquidation of a family business or sale of family residences. The thing that impressed me is that it is all completely avoidable, by using various strategies including insurance, trusts, family foundations, charitable giving, etc. AND you can still give the full amount to your kids or grandkids or whomever. Amazing! Kilbourn says there are two tax systems, one for the informed and one for the uninformed and after reading his book, I'd have to agree. I found the book to be well-written and easily understandable, not full of technical jargon, although there seemed to be enough alphabet soup to satisfy those who want the details. According to the book, something like a trillion dollars in wealth is going to pass between the greatest generation to the baby boomers over the next 20 years, so if you don't want the IRS to take half of it, either you or your parents need to read this book. It definitely opened my eyes.

                                  In 1870, the famous gambler and gunslinger Wyatt Earp began his career in a small town known as Lamar, Missouri. Earp served as the town constable, earning fifteen dollars a month before moving West and making a name for himself. The Ozark Mountains town was also the birthplace of the thirty-third president, Harry S Truman, in 1884. Lamar was a stepping stone in the paths of both men, who went on to gain national renown. However, the town's not-so-famous residents also had interesting stories to tell. Reba Earp Young's book "Truman's Birthplace" details the lives and rituals of her hometown in the early part of the twentieth century.

                                  "Truman's Birthplace" is a collection of editorials the author wrote for the local newspaper, the Lamar Democrat, from 1980 until 1992. Fueled by nearly a century's worth of experiences, Young's writing recalls a small-town way of life before the widespread use of electricity, telephones, and mass transportation. In the down-home, neighborly essays, she discusses the customs of Lamar residents and shares the history of the region.

                                  Mary Wilson's story is one of perserverance and inspiration. Born without arms, she never saw herself as handicapped, but as a "normal armless person." She's one amazing woman. I'm proud to say I've known her for over 20 years and consider her my "surrogate" mom.

                                  While I knew much of her story from countless mornings at her kitchen counter, there were certain stories that she chose not to share over the coffee cups. This book filled in the details for me and made me even more aware of her triumph and spirit.

                                  Morton's writing style is often choppy and mostly narrative. It would have been a stronger story with more quotes from the loved ones in Mary's life, or recollections from Mary herself. Even with that minor distraction, I really enjoyed reading the story of a woman who never gave up.

                                  5 out of 5 stars A Toehold on Life is a riveting read.......2003-01-06

                                  A Toehold on Life is the absorbing and remarkable life story Mary Wilson, a woman who triumphed over a series of personal and physical hardships. These hardships would have been hard for anyone to overcome, and Mary had the added disadvantage of having to do it without arms. The book follows Mary's life from a happy childhood in which her armlessness since birth is readily accepted by her loving family, siblings and playmates, through several difficult marriages that tested every ounce of her courage, self-sufficiency, and grit, and finally through two extremely happy marriages, which returned the kind of love and support she had given to others her entire life. The style of writing is well-suited to the kind of life lived by Mary -- honest, direct, and free from any sense of pity or maudlin sentimentality. Needless to say, Mary's life story is extremely inspirational in terms of showing what can be gained by having a positive attitude, ingenuity and courage -- courage in putting oneself "out there" in a "take me as I am" statement as Mary pursued her everyday activities as a Marimba-playing musician, salesperson, store owner, homemaker and mother, and childcare professional, to name a few. I recommend this book highly as an interesting read for anyone who is interested in learning about the variety of experiences possible in the the family of man, regardless of whether or not the subject is disabled or able-bodied.
