This book has a lot of examples and is a keeper. This was a required text in one of my college courses and was a fun easy read. It is structured by common mistakes others have made so it allows you to learn quickly by example.

This book is very dry and hard to read. There is some great information enclosed yet it is really hard to access. I also didn’t appreciate that at every moment possible the author seems to downgrade the ability of the self employed, multiple times it is suggested that under no circumstances should you chose to be a sole proprietor, which for me seems to disregard those that are starting out on a smaller part time basis.

This is not for me. It is pretty good for interesting reading, but not made for freelancers like me.

This book was a perfect tool to benchmark my design studio. After 14 years of business I found that Foote’s advice, assumptions and calculations were right on the mark … even for a business in New Zealand. Highly recommended.
