From Booklist
Now qualifying as a bona fide crafts business guru, Brabec begins her fifth opus by recollecting questions she herself posed as a novice homeworker. That type of reminiscence means that Brabec does indeed understand the just plain puzzlements of everyday self-employed business life--whether related to crafts or not. In alphabetical order, starting with the subject of accountants, topics are handled either straightforwardly or with a question or two. The information is truly a boon to even the experienced; the author, for instance, explains the occupation of enrolled agent, a tax professional licensed by the U.S. Treasury Department, who usually charges less than a CPA or accountant. One hundred percent serious? Not quite. Brabec gleefully reports useful "from the front" stories, and she doesn't hesitate to express some rather strong opinions. Barbara Jacobs

Customer Reviews

Duplicate information
This is a very good resource. It is easy to understand and use. However, don't make the mistake of also purchasing "The Craft Business Answer Book", by the same author. The description makes it sound like the book contains different information, but it doesn't. The covers are different, but the books are basically the same.

outdated and not so helpful
i found this book to be dry and not helpful for my home craft business purposes. It is now very much out of date also.

great for the truly green
I have not been in the crafts business long, and I must say I found this book far more informative than others offered online. Highly recommended for newcomers like myself.
